Digital BW, The Print

Hi gang,

I was on this group for a couple of months and then have been gone 
for 8 months. I missed the wealth of information here. I'm preparing 
to take the giant leap into making the best prints I can make. I'll 
be commiting to some kind of CIS, probably some profiles and 
calibration tools, new camera gear, new monitor etc etc.

First up though is a new scanner. I have some budget limitations to 
around $1000 for a scanner. I'm looking at the Canon FS4000 and the 
Nikon Coolscan in the same price range. Any opinons would be much 
appreciated as well as suggestions for other scanners that might be 
better. Right now I'm pretty much limited to the 35mm format with on 
only medium format camera being a Holga. I have an epson 1200UPHOTO 
that I can use for the Holga negs.

So..Canon or Nikon or something else? Either opinions or links to pre-
existing threads or URL's appreciated.

It's good to be back

Thanks, Tim Timmermans
