filmscanners: Enlargements & Film Sacnners

[GNUNEMAKER@aol.com]

We are new into the film scanner environment and looking for some assistance 
in advance of making of decision on several issues.  As amateur ice hockey 
photographers we shoot in very poor light.  We are currently contemplating a 
Nikon 4000 scanner to work in concert with Photoshop 6.0.  We currently shoot 
with Nikon F5's and lenses at 200/2.8 and 300/4.  Our question is will our 
scanner provide the ability to crop and enlarge clearly our negatives (say to 
11x14), or do we need to invest in a 400/2.8 lens.  Our options appear to be 
either the 400/2.8 or 300/2.8 at half the price.  In either case we will be 
acquiring the scanner -- just hate to overspend if we can accomplish the same 
result with a new scanner.

Thanks
