Digital BW, The Print

I thought the Nikon 8000 scanner was the best digital investment I'd made after messing with other methods of getting my medium format B&W negatives into the computer.  I was making 8x10 B&W internegatives (positives, actually).  Then I used a flatbed scanner with a transparency adapter.  I ended up with lots of pixels, but the overall image quality of the Nikon 8000 was better, and the workflow way easier.  If/when the Nikon 8000 scanner crashes, it would be very nice if a DSLR could be used, but I'd be surprised if even at 36 mp they are up to the quality of the dedicated film scanner.
