This may have been covered before I joined the list; if so, sorry, and
feel free to reply off list. 
 
I foresee myself continuing to mostly shoot film rather than digital for
some time, not unlike a lot of others here.  So, what scanners are
people using, recommend, etc.?  My requirements are mostly for 35mm, BUT
I do have a need for up to 4x5 scans.  I suppose my 2-1/4 and 4x5
material could be jobbed out, but then I'm forced to find a good service
for that, not to mention the relative cost vs. just buying a 4x5-capable
scanner and doing it inhouse.
 
Should I be looking at two scanners, one optimized for 35mm and one for
larger?  Assuming that scanners capable of the larger formats are going
to be much more expensive, what is the advisability of buying used?
 
My use of the scanned images would be:
1. Web gallery
2. Prints up to 16x20
TIA,
 
Earl
