What would you gain from a digital camera, given that your current workflow seems to work just fine? Remember, the cost of an E10 would buy you another Leica lens. > So, I am comtemplating the new Nikon Coolscan > ED 8000 to convert my images to digital as required. That might be a better investment, since it reinforces your existing investment in film-to-digital workflow, instead of rendering it useless. > Question 1.Can anyone reinforce my drift? I think that drifting towards a scanner makes a lot more sense than drifting towards an E10. > Question 2. Does anyone have comments on the scanner > in question? I haven't used that specific model of Coolscan, but I've used two others (LS-30 and LS-2000) and they are great. I won't be upgrading from there because the LS-4000 does not support SCSI and Windows NT, and there isn't that much more to see in 35mm negatives to justify higher scanning resolution, anyway.
