If you can get the 8000 for below $1000 I would go for it, it scans upto 12 (2x6) negatives in one go at 4000 ppi. And of course about any other format upto 6x17 cm os will work too :-) I use it for 6x7 negatives and slides, ass well as my old 35mm material. It DOES require a Firewire connection though, no USB or SCSI! Oh yeah, it is HUGE too, I have put my flatbed scanner on top of it :-) Regards, JvW ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
