I'm looking to get myself a neg scanner, been using a Nikon Coolscan for 35mm and Imacon for 120 and 5x4 at my university, only I graduated 2 years ago now and I could do with getting my own! I've seen a F3200 for sale and it looks like a good scanner for all formats from what I gather from internet reviews, but I'd like to see what people who've actually used it think, and what price I should be looking to spend on one, I can't find any for sale online and I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing!
Thanks in advance.
 
I use an Epson 2580 and it is very good indeed, after investigating this model it would appear that it was developed with a major user/users in mind and the quality of manufacture and performance reflects that, very reliable.
I know that this unit was used in all Tesco photo shops for many years so the sold units would have been in there 1000,s and other retail outlets as well.
 
Epson Perfection 3200 you referring to is not the same as F3200. The F3200 was a film only scanner for formats up to 4x5. It looks like this.

To OP - if you can get it cheap my advise - get it. You can get quite a decent scans from it and original Epson software have some quirks under the bonnet that none others do apparently - see here for more details.

Well I suppose people now want to turn their old negs into JPGs, so scanners on Ebay are snapped up, but if you can get the 3200 for a cheap price I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed (well I wouldn't).
