Digital BW, The Print

Hello Randy, I do scanning of med format film up to 6x18 cm. I use the Imacon 
343 scanner. This unit is a superior unit to the nikon for several reasons. 
First it can scan up to 6x18 cm size, the nikon 8000 will only scan to 6x8. The 
Imacon is more expensive but the machine is far superior to the nikon. The 
price for a new 343 imacon is aroung 4995. but it can be had in a refurbished 
condition for abour 4000. I bought a refurb and the machine was hardly used, 
like new. The Imacon is an amazing scanner but what makes it  so is the software. 
The Imacon is a pro unit and its not that much more expensive then the Nikon. 
I would take the Imacon over the nikon any day.Steve
