There's no way I'll be able to afford a 9000 or anything close soon, but I'd like to be able to scan Holga/Bronica (and maybe XPan someday) negs for the web and printing on my Epson. The 4870's 4x5 capability would be bonus. If I needed an exhibition print, I'd pay for BWC to drum scan it or whatever they thought was best. But, I don't trust random photo.net opinions and the other tests I've seen were run by sources I didn't completely trust. MP > Decisions, decisions.... > > Allen
