Mike,

I went from an Epson 1600 to a Nikon 8000 and considered it a huge step up.
I think the flatbeds' resolution should be cut in half to give you a good
comparison to what a film scanner can do.

I find the glass carrier with the Nikon is worth having, if not necessary
for top notch silver-based film scans.  I do not use it for the T400CN due
to Newton's rings.  (It also seems less needed for T400CN.)

I'm sufficiently happy with the Nikon 8000 that I have no incentive to
upgrade or spend any more money in that sector.

I've been using an Epson 2450, mostly for medium format. I've
been getting good results. I'm thinking of upgrading to the Nikon
8000. Their around, refurbished and guaranteed, for about
$1300. More than any of the Epson scanners, but presumably
just a step under the imacon in quality.

Does anyone have experience using both Epson and Nikon.
How would you compare them?

Mike
