It IS a wonderful scanner.I can't afford it.
But it is a wonderful scanner.
I have a Minolta Scan Multi for up to 6x7 (well 6x9 but I only go to 6x7), it's pretty good, but the resolution isn't as good for medium format, still I get good sized CLEAN scans (i.e. I don't have to average to get rid of scan noise).
The medium format adapter is a blankety-blank expletive-deleted sexual-innuendoing dust magnet, though.
It can JUST do K25 to a decent level of darkness. The imacon goes to another OD down, and undoubtedly would be much better on K25. --- If you can afford the thing.

Follow Ups:
There are several new Nikon slide scanners coming out, and they are supposed to be very good. I have used the former LS2000 at max settings (proprietary driver, not SilverFast) and have printed some beautiful enlargements using the Epson 1270.You might want to check them out -- the new Nikons claim a d4.2 range, which, for $8000 less, might rival the Imacron.
