Digital BW, The Print

I have the Nikon 4000 and it's a great scanner. Does a better job than the
Epson 3200. That said there are other issues involved when looking at the
Epson 4870 vs. Nikon 9000. I believe the 9000 will out-perform the 4870 but
most of the time the difference will not be noticeable. I am thinking of
getting a 4870 for my 6 x 6 cm images because the cost of the Nikon 9000 is
way more, in my opinion, than the difference in quality on the few extreme
slides that I may encounter. If price was no object I would probably go with
the 9000 but realize that it only goes up to medium format film, not 4 x 5.
Hope this helps.

Dear all:

I am not sure this is the right forum for this question, but I am completely
sure you all are
the right advisers, so I go:

Although I own a 6.3 mpx reflex camera, I am unsatisfied with its results in
several points.
I would like to buy a scanner for negatives and slides coming from my Leica
M6 and my
old Rolleiflex tlr (since I want to try everything in photography, I
eventually will buy a large
format camera, but not today). I am hesitating between a film dedicated
Nikon coolscan
9000 or a flatbed Epson 4870.

What would you advise me? (please)

Thank you very much
