Hello,

a very direct question...... For top quality purpose, after reading many
messages I am still confuse regarding what is considered today, the BEST
film scanner around, and which model? SS 4000, Nikon 8000, Minolta Dimage
II....... Let's forget for now the budget and let's talk just about pure
performance, mostly about resolution, max dmax and details, etc, etc......
Thanks for your consideration; Andrea
