If you want to make 16x20s of high quality - since you use Leica it's 
probably a dumb question, get something in the range of $2,000. The Nikon 
and Polaroids seem to be the most popular with pros in this range. The 
newer Polaroid that does 4000 dpi seems to do a really great job, and I've 
seen them for as low as $1,800.
