I am thinking about buying a Nikon CoolScan V ED Film Scanner to
digitize my vast 35mm neg collection. Has anyone here used the

I have a P&S now 4mp 3xzoom which does the job but am wondering if I can get
better.

Having decided on the Canon EOS 20 D and the EF-S 10-22mm wideangle zoom,
I'm adding  a 77mm circular polariser .
Looking at Hoya filters, they offer  a 77mm G series Circular polariser at
