This may have been covered before I joined the list; if so, sorry, and feel 
free to reply off list.

I foresee myself continuing to mostly shoot film rather than digital for some 
time, not unlike a lot of others here.  So, what scanners are people using, 
recommend, etc.?  My requirements are mostly for 35mm, BUT I do have a need for 
up to 4x5 scans.  I suppose my 2-1/4 and 4x5 material could be jobbed out, but 
then I'm forced to find a good service for that, not to mention the relative 
cost vs. just buying a 4x5-capable scanner and doing it inhouse.

Should I be looking at two scanners, one optimized for 35mm and one for larger? 
 Assuming that scanners capable of the larger formats are going to be much more 
expensive, what is the advisability of buying used?

My use of the scanned images would be:
Web gallery
Prints up to 16x20
TIA,

Earl
