RE: [Digital BW] scanner for 4x5

The T2500 IS a very good scanner for a non-dedicated film scanner, no doubt.
I don't believe it is really that close to a high end dedicated film
scanner, especially for the smaller format films like 35mm and 2 1/4.  The
larger the film, the better the T2500 does.  For 4x5, I would agree, it's
really quite good.

The Leaf isn't that slow for B&W (after all, this IS a B&W group ;-)...in
fact, it's reasonably fast...under 4 minutes for a 6x6 scan.
