Digital BW, The Print

Please will you help? I want to find a scanner that will give me high 
quality scans of 8 mm cine film. I do not mind modifying the film 
holder. I am considering an Epson 3200, but I have read the reviews 
in this group. Does anyone know of a better scanner that will also 
scan 8 mm film?

For something that small I think it will require a good film scanner
of at least 4000 dpi.  I recommend the new Minolta 5400.  I have one
and it's really good.

In fact, Minolta used to make a 16mm film holder for one of their 
older 35mm film scanners (QuickScan 35/35 Plus), and I *think* 
they make (or made) one for their multi-format film scanner 
series. They don't make one for the 5400, but technically there's 
nothing stopping them from doing so, as far as I can tell.
