To let you have more headache, you may want to look at Primefilm XE instead. For US$100 more than the 7200, it offers much better spec. Great users review too (I know it is subjective.)

As for V700, while it is generally regarded as a very good MF scanner, many users complain that its focus could be just off and hence image appears soft. There are solutions (eg. Variable Height Holder from betterscanning.com) but more effort and another US$100 required. The Primefilm scanners are supposedly cheap and good. If my Minolta scanner KO I will get one and try.

Waaaa. Thanks ah. Haha. I saw the XE model on their website. And saw the pricing from bhphoto. It's actually quite affordable. But was thinking if I could get it locally, any distributor?

Is it worth the hassle of paying for the shipping and one still need to pay for tax when it arrived at Singapore right?

No sure if there is a local distributor (doubt so). Even inclusive of shipping and tax, it should still be below S$500. I reckon it is worth it. (Even better if it comes with Siverfast. If not, another S$50 for VueScan) Life is short. Just do it

Steady la! I like your last sentence, 'Life is short, just do it' :thumbsup:

P.s. Just hope it's really worth it.
