Digital BW, The Print

FWIW, Cameta is auctioning a bunch of Nikon 8000s you-know-where. There have
been several up at a time for a couple of weeks now. They are used --
factory demos -- and come with a 90 day Nikon and 1 year Cameta warranty
(and, of course, the opportunity to buy an extended warranty...). I got one
for $1350 and it looks virtually unused. All the manuals, CDs, and film
holders were still in their sealed boxes/envelopes. And it was packed to the
gills for shipping -- like a Dr. Suess illustration. Box in a box in a box
in a box. After using an Epson 2450 w/ both Vuescan and Silverfast, and
being quite pleased, I can honestly say the difference in my MF scans is
quite noticeable. The images from the Nikon are visibly better. And, as
Anthony points out, compared to the price of scanning MF rolls from a good
service bureau, it'll earn its keep relatively quickly.

Cheers,
Matthew Born
