For people on a budget the Epson 3200 is the standard MF/4X5 scanner. Difficulties would include having to keep the glass clean and a somewhat limited dynamic range; it is great for the price. Epson is selling so many that Canon is jumping in with a similar product. Others on this list will chime in with real world experience. But it is a rule of thumb that when a camera store salesperson really doesn't like modern hardware it either isn't in stock or it doesn't have a SPIFF. The one exception is when that salesperson can suggest a similar priced item and exactly why the other item is better for you. All too many people want you to buy a D1X when the funds are available for a Fuji 210.

I was wondering if anyone on the list could give me an update on their experience with flat bed scanners used to scan 6x6 T400CN negatives. I am considering an Epson 3200. I was recently steered away from that direction by a Precision Camera employee but there's no way I can afford a MF film scanner and I keep reading favorable articles on the flat beds. Any advice?
