Sorry, AFAIK the only Polaroid-branded scanner currently in the UK (and then not for long - it's due to be replaced by the Microtek version) is the 120, which is a fair bit dearer than the Multi Pro. Ted's is only sold as a Microtek, but the price differential is 2x, not 3x here - still significant, but it does make the comparison a little more valid (sound of desparate back peddling!). The Multi Pro is currently the most affordable MF film scanner (as opposed to flatbeds), but it's also a good choice for 35mm, and the Nikon 4000 is only a third cheaper - which were all factors in making my choice, but probably is no help at all to Ted.
