I have the polaroid sprintscan 120. It is one of the 3 medium 
format dedicated film scanners that include the minolta dimage 
pro, the nikon coolscan 8000, and the polaroid sprintscan 120.
I bought it because i got a pretty good demo  at calumet in los 
angeles. The person at samys in L.A. could not get the minolta to 
demo correctley. I don't have it yet but the polaroid definitely 
should be used with the optional glass neg holder. I personally 
think the glass holder should be part of the standard accessory 
pack and not optional.
At the time i bought ,it was between 500-800 less than the nikon 
and minolta and there was  300 rebate. Actually I think any of the 
3 scanners are good, i went for price and am very happy with the 
scans. It's not as good as the drum scans I purchase from 
Bowhaus- and im not such an experienced scanner user to 
really appreciate the fine nuances of good scanning. I get 
workable histograms and really really sharp prints.(unsharp 
masking @ 150%, .7-.9 radius). I paid extra for the silverfast 
which i found to be incomprehensable.
