Digital BW, The Print

Usually photographic equipment is way cheaper in the US, compared to
Europe. For instance, digital still camera's are about TWICE as
expensive here. This Canon film scanner, however, can I buy here for 639
euro (and the euro and dollar are more or less equal at the moment),
excluding sales tax. I have to admit that this is in a shop only for
pro's, but you can easily register, without any proof etc. I bought with
them a Canon S900 the other week, also cheap. In their consumer shop,
right near their profi windows, it was 50% more!! They are not this
cheap on everything. Maybe Canon try to get a stronger foothold in the
pro market against Epson (printers) and Nikon (scanners). Anyway, this
scanner seems to have a good price.
Best,
