Richard, what type of film are you scanning?  Nikon Coolscan  scanners 
(I have a V) are very good with fine-grained film, but not so good with 
grainy film.  My Canon 9950F flatbed is better with grainy negatives. 
Then there are the high-end flatbeds (Screen Cezanne, Kodak/Creo 
IQSmart, Kodak/Creo Eversmart...) and drum scanners, but both of these 
options are much more expensive.  I have a Cezanne, but it's not for 
everyone. It makes great scans, though.
