[filmscanners] Re: need your older Nikon film scannersrecommendations

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

Michael, both Ramesh and I are pointing out a possible flaw in your
purchasing plan.  No, it does not directly answer your question.

It is somewhat like someone asking what type of rocket fuel they need to
put into their car to get to the moon, and someone kindly pointing out
that the vehicle they wish to use might be more likely to simply explode
than to get them anywhere near the moon.

Buying a used scanner on ebay is very possibly false economy, but is you
are dead set to do so, good luck.
