I'm told the best quality scan is achieved with a film scanner. Scanning a print will not produce an equal quality scan, all other things being equal. Not good news if your trying to obtain optimum scan quality for medium format images on a limited budget. I've used a N**** Cool Scan 4000 ED film & slide scanner and am very happy with the output, but this is a 35mm format scanner. The N**** Super Coolscan 8000 is a medium format film scanner but its cost is significantly higher than the 4000.
