I recently bought the Reflecta RPS 7200 which according to a review on a German
site actually is a better scanner than the newest one, and all I can say is
that the results are far superior to my Epson V700.
The Epson (or any other good flatbed I suppose) is fine for medium and large
format, but I have concluded that for 35mm film you really need a dedicated
scanner.
I paid 450 Euro for the Reflecta.
