I think camera shop staff are trained to say "I recommend Nikon." I don't have the MF version of the Polaroid scanner but a friend does (he bougth it when he got frustrated waiting for the Nikon unit to ship) and he's been very happy with it.
As others have noted, the Nikon film holders do have to hold the film flatter to compensate for lack of depth of field in the lens used. So give the sales guy credit for being a good spinner! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 12:05 PM Subject: [filmscanners] MF scanners Hi, I am interested in getting a medium format scanner and had pretty much decided on the polaroid 120. However, talking with the digital expert and a nearby camera shop who has experience with the polaroid, nikon and minolta, he recommended the nikon. The reason being the that the nikon film holders hold the film flatter then the polaroid holders, giving better sharpness across the frame. He also mentioned that there was some talk about a redesigned film holder for the polaroid that would solve this problem. Checking on the net, I have not heard of this problem with the polaroid 120. Has anyon had problems with film flatness with the polaroid 120 or know anything about new holders? thanks, Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
