Selecting the best scanner

Selecting the best scanner

2005-01-01 by joshscapes

Hello all,

I am new to the group and would like to see if anyone has any 
information on what film scanner would do the best job scanning my 
medium format b&w film for the purpose of making digital prints up 
to 16x20 in size.  I have researched a lot about the Nikon Super 
Coolscan 9000 and the Minolta Multi Pro.  I have also heard a few 
people on this group state that the Microtek Artixscan 120tf is the 
best for use with b&w medium format film.  What are your thoughts?  
As it is obvious I am going to be spending a lot of money (atleast 
for me) I want to get the scanner that gives me the best quality.

Thanks in advance,

Josh
