It depends on what you want to do after you have scanned your
slides/negatives. If you want to get a scanner which is absolutely
phantastic for medium format, go for a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000ED. It
is less expensive to get than the new 9000ED. If you do not want or need
such a piece of equipment, go for an Epson 4870 - does this job very
well and costs less than half new compared to a second hand ED9000 on Ebay.
