Digital BW, The Print

Used Nikon 4000 scanners are WAY less than that nowadays.  I paid just over
$1100 for mine new back around 5 years ago.  Just got a used 9000 for $1200
recently too.

Ann Marie, yes, the person running the scanner apparently has little
experience in B&W scanning.  All my 35mm work, primarily B&W, was done with
a Nikon 4000.  No, it's not easy, but with a bit of education and
self-training is not all that hard either.
