You might want to check out Micheal Reichmann's review... Its on www.luminous-landscape.com

PS: If you are doing a huge amount of high quality film scans, this is the type of scanner, but if its for a few scans then there's no point buying a $10,000+ scanner, according to Reichmann.

Nick

I'm doing a few hundred scans and I need high quality scans to blow up pictures to poster size. Thanks for your advice.

One of the CSer, Kex, does offer film scaning services with his Imacon flextight.

At around $5 per frame of 6x7. the price is very competitive, considering that it used to cost me $65 to scan a frame of that in some other pro labs.

Or you could get the EPSON Perfection 4870.. Heard so many good reviews about it, going to get it soon.

i believe the flextight is a drum scanner type and hence the rest just can't be compared really....

i think the scanning quality between the flextight and the Nikon Coolscans are pretty close. Of course, both are lightyears away from the consumer grade Epsons...
