Digital BW, The Print

I think it comes down to price vs quality: value.

For $800 for a scanner like the V-750 that will scan up to 8x10" 
films up to 6400 dpi, how can you go wrong?

If you're only shooting roll film, you may want to go with a 
dedicated film scanner like the Nikon ED-9000 or whatever.

But if one is shooting sheet film, I'd spring for the flatbed.

FWIW,
Scott
