Really, the reviews of printers at <http://www.photo-i.co.uk/> are  
without peer. Thanks to Moose for sharing that source with all of us.  
I would take photo-i's advice and I would be tempted greatly to save  
money with the Epson Photo 1400 based on what I have seen come out of  
one belonging to a friend.

After my own experience with a medium format/35mm film scanner I would  
go for one of the good combination flatbed scanners.  If you look at  
the review at the above site the differences with images from a Nikon  
film scanner are negligible. The real test is 35mm and medium format  
is easier. Film scanners are slow, hard to keep clean and a pain in  
the rear to use. I would not buy one again now that the choices are  
better.
