Digital BW, The Print

Hi Frank

I can't give you a comparative recommendation, but I have used the 
Nikon 9000 for 6 months now, scanning mainly 6x7, b&w and colour and 
I've certainly had no complaints. I've heard a lot of people 
comlaining about the nikon film holders, but I haven't had a problem, 
although I opted for the glass film holder for MF, which adds to the 
price. I use Silverfast AI rather than the Nikonscan software.

Cheers
