Hey There Bryan,
Well I've been Very Impressed wit my Canon 9000F
Fir the Exact Purpose THaT You are Inquiring About!
Of course, I've been Using it for Various Negatives
From the 60's to the Present Day 35mm Negs...
However, it does come wit a resizable rack
THaT Allows fir the Negative to be Held fir a Grand Digital Scan!
It Also Comes wit the CC Ability
iN Order to Scan Slabbed Cards to a Perfection!
Its Very Affordable, imho...
As Fir the CleaniN...
I'm Fairly Brave!
However, I've been DoiN Photography since the Early 80's!
I would be Very Gentle wit No Chemicals to Start,
Maybe Try Using a Horse Hair Brush ta get ya Start'd !?!?
Here's a few Links to Get Ya GoiN!!!
