Scanner for Medium Format

Noel,

I am also looking at the 3200 as a proofing scanner. For scanning to produce high quality prints I use either an Imacon or a drum scanner. I don't want to spend $2500+ for a proofing scanner but $400 for the Epson might be worth it to "see" what I've got in my images. In regards to my comment about the 8000 untouched, I mean a raw scan with no adjustments and no sharpening. I do all that in PS. So the 3200 scan after I sharpen it is about as good (so far) as a scan on the 8000 before I sharpen it. Nikon would have done something really wrong if their 8000 wasn't better than a $400 flatbed scanner. For proofing I don't need the extra quality.

> Guy, thanks for the info. I am just new to all this and obviously you have a lot of experience would you send me your email so we could communicate a little

best regards and thanks Noel Greene
 
Has anybody had the chance to test the new Epson Perfection 3170 scanner with medium format negatives/slides and if so, would they care to share their experience with us?

Regards

Andrei
 
I have no experience with the new Epson, but my experience scanning MF with the 2450 has been fantastic. Probably hard to go wrong with the new one.
