I've been usin a Nikon LS4000 ED scanner for morethan a year nw and would definitely
recommend it. I started with a Nikon Coolscan II (good), "upgraded" to a Minolta Dual
Scan II (absolute rubbish), and then to the Nikon 4000 (the best). It's easy to use,
gives great scans, includes ICE which greatly simplifies cleaning slides, and I'd
recommend it. Of course the new Nikon Coolscan V is probably equivalent now at half
the price.

Subject: OT: Almost ready to by a scanner
I'm working on a long term project to scan years worth of
B&W negatives and also plan to use the scanner for E6
transparencies, and, to a lesser extent, color neg. I also
intend to make larger than 8x10 prints and feel that the
largest pixel count is important.
I'm very close to deciding on a Nikon 4000ppi model (I can
never recall the model number <sigh>). Why did those of you
who bought one, decide it was the way to go? And for those
who bought something else, why that, or why not the Nikon?
My choice of the Nikon is based on it being the only scanner
I've used and that's affordable at this time, and that I've
heard some questionable comments about other scanners.
