I've had this collection of glass plate negatives for a while now. Finally got them scanned in last week. Posted them here for all you to enjoy. Rest of the collection is at http://flickr.com/photos/25999366@N00/sets/72157611799951267/
I used an old Umax PowerLook 2100XL run through a SCSI to Firewire convertor and the VueScan software. The software did a decent job at scanning, had some painful difficulties, but it did have a multiple exposure mode and could output DNG format, which was a plus. I may try and rescan them upside down to see if that improves the quality of the highlights and tones any.
