<p>Hello,<br>

Many thanks for your response, I have now my mind much clearer. I think that, until I fully acknowledge if scanning a lot is the way I would like to go or not, I will buy a "bang for the buck" dedicated scanner, maybe the Reflecta. After that, I would be ready to understand if I am willing to make the big investment (v.g. Nikon 9000) or not.<br>

Some of you mention the learning curve about scanning... never thought it would be that way. Any resource/book/material that make sense to get initiated in this?. If it is extremely involved and not very creative, I am not sure I will like it, but I would like to get into this with the best information upfront it is possible.</p>

<p>Many thanks, much appreciated all your insights.<br>

<p>Hello,<br>

Many thanks for all the opinions, very useful.<br>

Not concerned about scanning time means that I will not surely scan all the old film I have already on paper. I have my own enlarger, etc... but do not have the space at home to keep it. So I take this as a lower excitement alternative to traditional lab.<br>

I mostly do B&W photography, if this changes a bit the scenario.<br>

Many thanks,<br>

<p>Hello,<br>

I am having some doubts about what approach to take; either buying a dedicated scanner (Reflecta Professional 7200) or a flatbed one (Epson V700). I have read many opinions on people favouring one approach or the other, but not many contrasting performance for both approaches that have effectively tested/used both.<br>

On my needs, I would like to have the best possible quality (not worried about scan time) and will scan mostly 35mm (I also do 120mm, but this is not a must, as I do not want to condition my decision). </p>

<p> Anybody effectively comparing these two scanners?.</p>

<p> Many thanks,<br>

Iván. </p>
