Re: Multi Pro or Coolscan 8000?

I thank you and everyone else for the good suggestions, but I, ah,
might have just purchased a Nikon 8000 and hope it will arrive soon so
I can find out if this was a good decision or not.

The decisive factors were: Nikon is still sort of making the software
(last release of Nikon Scan in 2006), I trust it's longevity a bit
more (LED lamps, some parts such as film carriers still available new
as they are the same ones as in the Coolscan 9000 model, Nikon is
still around), and, I got it for a price that seemed reasonable,
though, after customs and taxes and ****pping it really isn't _cheap_
anymore.. I guess I can cover the cost by selling my two scanners and
some little-used camera/lens gear. I probably won't have use for 
Silverfast AI Studio for Epson anymore, I wonder it the license
is resaleable...

An added bonus I didn't realize until after purchase: It can actually
scan 12 frames of 135 film at once, so actually my scanning of 135
film got a slight boost as well, even though improving medium format
was the primary goal here.

The glass film holder included with the price of Multi Pro would have
been very nice, though.


By the way. What is the difference between the glass 120/220 film
holder and the rotating glass 120/220 film holder?
