Hi, > Microtek Artixscan 120tf > Minolta Dimage Scan Multi > Nikon's Coolscan 8000 & 9000 > Polaroid SprintScan 120 (which was a Microtek)
That's a good list, and there are a few to add to it: Leafscan 45 - scans B&W using a neutral density filter instead of RGB This scanner gives the best B&W scans of any scanner I've used, which is every one on the market, including PMT (drum) scanners and Imacons. And of course the Imacon units. > Epson Perfection 4990 (and some earlier models). I like these scanners for inexpensive excellent medium format scanners that can also serve as multi-purpose scanners. Malcolm mentioned the 4870. Any of this line of Epson flatbeds is decent. Not as good as any of the above mentioned dedicated film scanners, but really quite decent. > If you really want to go high-end, pick-up a Scitex EverSmart Pro, it > will set you back less than a couple of thousand dollars and do an > awesome job on 35mm and medium format.

That's a decent scanner, but it's only 2540SPI, and it is a flatbed...though one of the best flatbed scanners made...and really only shines if you've got to scan anything larger than 4x5, it's the best there is. IMO, for 35mm/MF dedicated film scanning, the Imacon is a better scanner.
