Re: Current thinking on Medium Format scanners - CDN COST
That is a good price, because I just went to one of Epson's distributor's site, and their price is $567.59.

Re: Current thinking on Medium Format scanners?
I seem to remember just this morning there was a thread on one of the Minolta scanners that was actually a 35mm scanner but could also do MF (at a reduced resolution). Anyone got further info on this one? --BC On 26 Jun 2002 at 11:55, Bruce Dayton wrote: > Mark, > > Near as I can tell, JCO is having the best luck with his.
