All your statements were mentioned once or more by one or more
people over the past 6 months. They usually were accompanied by
statements that some of the effects are not happening that often
or haven't occured at all. There were also solutions mentioned
and made for some of the problems. I'm a happy owner of the Nikon
8000ED and I know at least two other owners (friends) that
consider it a good scanner. There have been enough statements by
owners on this list that they were happy with the scanner.

You exaggerated the problems, denied the Nikon's advantages, and
favoured the Polaroid 120 and that all based on experience of
others while you had no first hand experience of both scanners.
The Polaroid 120 must be a good scanner (no first hand experience
here) but I do not consider the Nikon 8000 ED a bad scanner.

This discussion isn't what William asked for but it isn't
practical for me in Europe to do a test scan for him. Dave King
another Nikon 8000 ED user gave some MF scannerreview URLs some
time ago:

For one of the Nikon flaws (DOF etc) I have made a good solution
without the trouble that usually comes with glass carriers:

I even wonder whether it helps to avoid banding but haven't used
that carrierenough to be sure about that.
