RE: [Digital BW] Scanners for B & W

2003-05-27 by Anton Pickard

Thanks Alan, Billy and Paul for your replies. I read the review on the E3200
and from the looks of it will be suitable for the time being. I hope I can
try out a Nikon 8000 at some point, but I frankly cannot justify the price
tag until  I have more experience scanning.

 

Thanks for all your help.

 

Regards,

Tony
