Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

I'm curious about your experience with the Nikon 8000 and the 
glass-covered holder.  I have heard conflicting reports.  It does 
solve the DOF problem, but some have said that the Newton-ring 
problem is bad and/or that the glass doesn't allow quite as 
sharp a scan.  I'm not concerned about dust.  I have been trying 
to track down some special anit-reflective glass (not etched!) to 
replace the glass in the Nikon holder.  Thanks!
