Digital BW, The Print

Tim, for 35mm I have and can recommend the Nikon Coolscan 4000.  I think you can get one for around $1,500-1,600.  Since with 35mm you're doing a lot with a little, as they say, I wouldn't economize too much on the scanner.  I use my Holga(s) a lot, "converted" to 6 x 6 cm.   There is a surprising amount of tonal range (although not always in the same area from shot to shot).

  Subject: [Digital BW] scanners


  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
