Hi, I am using a Mamiya 711 6x7 film camera. I would like to get a scanner for this film stock. Does anybody have advice about Good Scanners that handle 6x7? Maybe a scanner that can also handle 35mm.

I need high resolution for larger prints.

Thanks, Tim Stenning

Tim,
I use a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000 for my 6x7 slides and have been pleased with the results. Hope that helps.

An Imacon Photo or 343 will do an outstanding job as well.

Tim, I have the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED, and I couldn't be happier. Even purchased brand new, its some of the best money I have ever spent. With this scanner, it is absolutely critical to get the glass plate carrier, which will set you back another couple of hundred bucks.

Thanks, everybody. I can't wait to spend some more bucks on a lovely scanner. My new Mamiya 7ii is doing remarkably well. Thanks again, Tim Stenning :toast:
