Simon We at Aztek have both used Scanview ScanMate 5000s and Howtek D4000 drum scanner for sale for $4,995 and less. The web site is: www.aztek.com The quality, price and speed of the Nikon, Polaroid and Imacon are all less than these drum scanners. We at Aztek obtain these used drum scanners as the owners trade-ins their old scanner while purchasing new even faster and higher resolution drum scanners. When serious photographers or pro-sumers really care about film scanning quality, it's really not necessary to make sacrifices for purchase price. There are many very cost effective superior quality used scanners available. If however they don't have any quantity to scan but still need the quality, they can also go to a drum scan service provider instead of making any scanner purchase.
