I've been a landscape fan for a long time. Over the years I've collected a few cameras and shot lots of film.
Up to now I've paid for scanning and printing of my light table picks.
Since I've recently retired I'm shooting more film and need to get a scanner or scanners.
My dilemma is all the formats I enjoy shooting.
35mm
XPan
Widelux
6x9
6x12
6x17
I'd likely invest in a scanner costing as much as a Nikon 9000, but am unsure if formats like 6x17 can be scanned with anything less than an Imacon. Also don't know if something like a flatbed isn't a better bet for 35mm slides.
If someone could help out an old coot with some advice, I'd be forever grateful.
Thanks,
Texsport
