Digital BW, The Print

hello all,

anyone heard of any news about any new dedicated film scanners coming 
on the market?

In Vincent Oliver's review of the Epson V-700 flatbed scanner, he 
mentioned that Nikon has a scanner to replace the (I think) ED-8000, or 
whatever Nikon's current top of the line medium format capable scanner 
is.

Anyone else hear anything and/or have a link....?

Scott,

It isn't in the V700 review. I know, I have spelled that 
review several times and I checked it again after you wrote 
this but I can't find it. It could be in the comments but I 
thought that there's something like "unlikely that another 
Nikon scanner will appear after Nikon ceased production of 
almost the entire film camera range".

The latest version is the Nikon LS 9000 ED.

I really would like to test the Epson V750-M against the Nikon 
9000 or the 8000 that I have. With some films like B&W with 
grain I expect that the Epson may give nicer scans..

Hi Earnest,

O.k., appearantley I mis-read that info about a new Nikon scanner.

I went back to Oliver's review and didn't find that info I quoted.

But, what I was referring to was in one of the fourms on his site (I 
noticed you posted there a few times).

Oliver stated that the V-700 out performed the Nikon 4000 and that 
Nikon has a newer scanner than the 4000, but he didn't have one, so 
he could test it against the V-700.

Sorry for the mis-information. I would never want to start 
a "rumour". Too much "mis-information" out here on the net already. 
We don't need any more. :>)

I think the V-700 will suite me just fine. I'm only interested in buy 
one scanner that will can at least 4x5.

I like what I saw and read on Oliver's review of the V-700, so I'm 
going to go ahead and take a "flyer" and order the V-750 as soon as 
Epson will except pre-orders.

Curious to see what those V-series can do with wet-mounting, though.
