Digital BW, The Print

totally agree on the 3200 or the Polaroid Sprintscan. I use a 120 but 
had a 4000 and you can get 4000's pretty cheap (350) on ebay which is 
a bargain for a 16bit 4000 cpi scanner - its an awesome scanner for 
35mm film or transparencies, especially when combined with 
silverfast. One last point, you dont need Silverfast, the polaroid 
scanning software, while simple, gives an excellent result.
