You'll have to forgive us, some here have been scanning personally and professionally for well over ten years. I myself am up to my 5th film scanner purchase (current is LS-8000) and my first film scans date back well over ten years. >From a work-flow perspective even the best and fastest film scanner is slow >and tedious to set-up and use, particularly so when the photographer is used to the work-flow benefits of dealing with direct digital capture. And many experienced users will argue that even the best film scans provide inferior image quality to a direct digital capture at the same format size, I tend to agree after a lot of practical and technical testing.
