This is very good advice. I have the Epson 2450 and a Nikon 8000. I got the
Epson for scanning 4"x5" and larger but I have also tried it out on my 6x7cm
negs and the results are quite good. The Nikon is definitely better but it
is hard to say that it is $2500 better. I happy with the Nikon but only
after I invested an extra 350.00 in a rotated glass carrier. For medium
format the glass carrier is an absolute necessity. I wish I had know that
before wasting time on scans with the non-glass carrier.
