Re: Vs: [Digital BW] scanner doubts - IMHO Epson 4870

My personal reaction to the posts regarding which scanner is better.  When I started in photography. Won't tell how long but suffice to say years ago..:)  We were taught to fill the frame when making a photograph. Unless you are printing billboards, many of the tests seen on websites aren't that valid for photographic purposes where a small section of a negative is shown as a comparison. 
 
Think about why telephoto lenses were invented.  Prime purpose is to fill the negative frame from a distance. Choosing the proper lens for each situation will make your photography much better.  The other consideration is the size of the final image. A good start to learn how to think as a photographer is with the Ansel Adams series!
 
Just one man's opinion...:)
