Just saved $2,500...

Wrong attitude, if I may.
You have to convince yourself that what you were just about to buy is an M9 a Noctilux, and a bunch of summiluxes/summili (whatever).
See how much you saved now?
(Just don't spend that on something else because you just saved it or the world economy might be in jeopardy)
 
[mfogiel][I will second the previous advice - buy the Nikon CS9000 scanner before they disappear from the market, as the production has been stopped. I would also advise against going into 4x5 sheet film, as this is too much of a drag. You can use a small field camera with a roll back - a 6x9 negative scanned at true 4000 dpi will give you jaw dropping results. As for film, I use Tri X and Rollei Retro 100 for 35mm and Tri X or TXP for 120.]

That is exactly my plan...6x9 on a field camera. I don't think I am the only one, as every time 6x9 view camera shows up on eBay it becomes a heated auction at the last moment. So, I keep searching for a 4x5 with graflok back.

I was not aware that the CS 9000 was out of production. The lab I just started using near my office in NYC uses a CS9000; I like his scans, it's just his developer choice I am not 100% happy with - D76.

I also like Michael's approach - in that case I just saved $25,000.
