Glad it's different, and that you are having success. Bottom line that
counts right? :)  A friend tried the LS8000 prior to 9000's release, and was
not happy with it, I decided on the microtek120tf when I couldn't find the
polaroid any longer, same machine, and I wanted the more diffused light
source vs the Nikon. Was recommended by other friends very happy with the
polaroid 120 whose prints I had seen.

The other issue that I had with Nikon was support (in Canada) when my LS2000
went wonky.. The Microtek support has been great.

The microtek 120tf now lists approx 2300 CDN, the LS9000 approx 3200 CDN...
The other consideration is the glass film holder cost difference... Anyway,
just thoughts for the fellow who asked about the microtek120tf.
