I recently acquired a 90mm Elmarit 2.8 lens that I used to take this week's PAW http://home.earthlink.net/~geeman1066/15.jpg (yes, this is a shameless PAW plug for those who haven't already seen it) and I've been very pleased. I paid $340 for this lens which had only minor barrel scratches and clean glass. Hope I found a good price. I want to ask some more advice. I'm comparing the Epson Perfection 1650 Photo Scanner to the Epson Perfection 2450. The former has 1600x3200 dpi scan capability, the latter 2400x4800. Everything else about them seems to be the same, but the 2450 costs more than twice as much. Given how fast technology changes, is it worth paying more than twice as much for the 2450, or should I go for the cheaper one and figure I'll update in a few years? Advice is appreciated, particularly from those who have used these two scanners.
