Digital BW, The Print

Granted it's a pot of money, but our Imacon 848 scans 35mm at 8000.

Rick,

"best" is not really a quantifiable term...  I personally believe the
Leaf45
is THE best B&W film scanner there is for 35mm film, it scans at 5080,
and
no other film scanner, short of a PMT scanner does that.  It scans B&W
as a
single B&W channel, which, IMO, gives better tonality to the scans.  It
isn't the fastest scanner in the world...but it does things no other
current
scanner can.  There is also a 35mm only version of this scanner, that
goes
for under $500 or so, and scans at 4000.  The software is old, but
complete,
and will give you gorgeous scans.  The Leaf scanners aren't for
everyone...because of their age...but the results, IMO, are unsurpassed
for
B&W.

I have the spec sheets on-line if you're interested.

Austin
