John,
I own an Imacon Photo. A few snafus when setting it up, but once I got it
going, it does fantastic work. I did several months of due diligence before
purchasing, there just isn't anything out there of this quality at the same
price point. I'd be happy to post some scans for you to check out, or
answer any questions you have. My info is below. Feel free to give a call,
or e-mail off line.
Cheers,
Rick
ps. I should also mention that because Imacon is a smaller company than,
say, Nikon or many of the other scanner manufacturers, you can actually call
their head technician with questions. They give great customer service and
don't jerk you around.

Subject: Other Scanners, MF--Imacon. . . ?
Greetings, all--
Lacking Judy's aplomb and sensibility of preference for 35mm film, I've been
shooting medium format almost exclusively of late. And I've noticed several
unexpected effects while scanning MF negs with my Epson 1640 SU: 1) cobwebs
have formed under my arms and around my ears, 2) my children have all
graduated from college and moved away, and 3) my wife has taken up with a
young gypsy named Guido. . . .
I dunno. Maybe I should think of getting a faster scanner. . .
Farber seems big on the Imacon series, and there appear to be quite a few
available out there in the refurb market. The Flextight Photo model looks
particularly promising in cost-to-production terms (20 Mb/minute, 3200 dpi,
4.2 Dmax).
Any comments, advise, or experiences (er, with Imacon, I mean) would be
appreciated.
Best regards!
John
