If digitalized output is what you are going to need. I would recommend going 
with the istD. If digiatazed output is just incidental (web use) I would keep 
the 35mm and go with a low end scanner. If you need both either of your 
solutions will work, and it is a tougher decision. You might want to consider 
waiting awhile until things shake down here on the list. Remember, most of these 
guys are bragging about their new toy. Wait a year and see what they are saying 
then.

Since you have been off the list for awhile, I will warn you that I am moving in 
the opposite direction of most everyone else here, so that might be influencing 
my thinking.

Hi Gang, 

Here's my problem - and I am sure you can all relate. Do I sell all my
gorgeous near mint 35mm gear and buy a *ist D or do I keep shooting 35mm
trannies and buy a really good film scanner? Obviously, the *ist D option
will be cheaper in the long run (film use wise), but are the results going
to be as good as 35mm high resolution scans?
Cheers

Shaun
