It cost about 17 K - it also has an option for an ADF (again unique in its range of activities) As a solution for a replacement for a DSLR - no its not worth it - if you add the cost of film and processing + time + turn around time for processing then its *definitely* not worth it. However to convert legacy stuff and as a general high quality scanner it is worth it, and if one can invest in the adf then wow (the adf costs as much as the scanner) </blockquote></div> Thanks. At 17K definitely not. A few more K and I can have my DSLR. But the ADF is cool. For someone who does a lot, to kill for at that price. -- Regards Narendra Diwate
