Film scanner for 35mm (and maybe 6x6)
I have read the other thread about the Nikon Coolscan IV, and was wondering about something similar. I have the opportunity to buy a Konica-Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 II, at around $1100, but could of course opt for the Nikon Coolscan V for much less, or the Coolscan 5000 for a touch more than the K-M. I want to use it for scanning all my old pictures, as well as continuing to use my M6 alongside my M8, and I would like to have a very good scanner for this.
I also shoot medium format on occasion, and am considering getting more into that, but since the Coolscan 9000 is so expensive, I am wondering if it might make more sense to get the K-M 5400 II and a flatbed scanner like the Epson V750, which apparently does well for MF, but less so for 35mm.
Does anyone have experience with any of these and can help me compare my options a bit, for example Coolscan V vs. 5000, and so on.
