CoolScan 8000ED or 9000ED is so expensive, and flatbed is not my
prefer though some flatbeds might be considered as good on 120 but are
more than likely not so good on 35mm which is the format i also need.

i dont't know where to go .....


Minolta DiMage Scan-Multi Pro. This does me for 35mm up to most of my 120.
I have an ancient flatbed that I use for stuff for the web, and that does up
to 4x5, but not 6x12 or anything bigger than 4x5 - all that I send out to be
drum-scanned. I get exhibition prints drum-scanned quite often anyway,
since I'm a better photographer than I am a scanner operator, and I have a
good relationship with the scanning bureau.

Wondering about a better flat-bed one day that will do my 5x7, 6x17, and
10x8 (a recent addition), if not for the best work, but for now I have more
pressing calls on my funds.
