Digital BW, The Print

I have a 2450 with which I have been mostly dissapointed.  The underside of the glass cannot be cleaned, except by a service station.  I have done this twice, trying to explain the necessity of clean glass to the tech, but he is not a photographer.  The haze builds up again anyhow.  Even with clean glass, results are less than very good.

This is basically the same scanner as the 3200.  I have heard the optics are identical, and I've seen back to back scans which show --NO improvement-- in quality between the two, just bigger file sizes.  The 3200 scans much faster, however.

Of course, at roughly $2500 less than the Nikon, I'm living with soft scans.
