If I may add a word. I know a photographer who is one of the rare in 
Germany who makes - at least partly - a living by selling fine art 
b&w photography, and in addition to his Nikon 8000 (or was it a 
Polaroid 120?) he got this Epson 2450 flatbed for 6x7 negs and he 
said that often he uses the 2450 now because the scans look somehow 
more natural. I think the 2450 was the first serious flatbed Epson 
made, the later 3200 and the last one should even be a bit higher in 
resolution. 
And yes, I know its not a scitex...
