I use a Nikon Coolscan 8000, and have down for nearly two years. I find it a fantastic piece of kit. I have read comments about ditching the soft wear in favour of a third party software(others can tell you about that), I still use Nikons own with no problem. It batch scans, 12x36mm or 4x645, and will go up to 6x9. It has been replaced by the 9000, but I imagine there must be some still on shelves. The ICE is pretty good too. It comes in at around �2500.
In my view worth looking at. I run the same system as you but use 10.2.8 instead with no problems.

Dear List
I'm about to enter the murky world of scanning.
I need to buy a scanner to catch up on back log of film for Library
purposes.
All the original are on 645 and 35mm, no large format.
I could put them out third party - but I have so much personal work that I
wouldn't mind one here to while a way the hours - not that there are enough
of them in the day when you're sat in front of the screen.
(I personally think they're time machines!)
File spec requirements provided from the library are requesting the following:
645: 4550 X 3411 pixels 350ppi 44.5mb RGB
35mm: 4550 X 3035 pixels 350ppi 39.5mb RGB
(Its Masterfile if anyone's curious)
I would dearly love a Flextight but the purse ain't stretching to that at
the moment, still paying for the Phase One! :o)
So anyone have a recommendation? There seem to be so many out there and new one's being added every week I'm on a G4 Quicksilver 733 running Panther 10.3.4
Thanks in advance
