Digital BW, The Print

I recently purchased the Canon 4490 for my 6x6 film and also a Nikon Coolscan V for the 35mm. I'm happy with both but I have nothing to compare them to so I can't comment about the film grain issue.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Scanner for B&W negatives


  Perhaps this is a bit off topic of the group, but you are an 
  experienced lot and I cant resist asking for some advice. Neither 
  could I find anything on this topic by searching group posts so I am 
  asking here. 

  I am looking for scanners both for 35mm and 6x6 B&W negatives. Nikon 
  Coolscan 8000/9000 and the similar Minolta Multi Pro is just too 
  expensive for me. I am planning to print up to A3+ from 35mm and 
  20"x20" or even larger from 6x6.

  I suspect the Epson 4990 flatbed or Canon Canoscan 9950F will do for 
  6x6, but not for 35mm.  Perhaps the solution is a second hand 35mm 
  film scanner and one of those flatbeds for 6x6? 

  But which filmscanner? Nikon Coolscan V or LS-50, Minolta scan dual 
  IV or 5400/5400II - or what?

  I read something about different light source in filmscanners,- that 
  LED light in the Nikonscanners (and 5400II) makes the filmgrain more 
  pronounced. 

  I would be very happy if the members of this group could share some 
  experiences with me.
