Dan:
I thought I recognized your name from the Leica list. I also am a Leica
shooter. With your budget, I would get a Nikon LS4000 or LS8000 (MF
capability). I am told that there is a review of film scanners in the
current Popular Photography magazine. There are recent reviews of the Nikon
What are the interfaces - USB or SCSI? Do you need a separate card. I have
USB ports but no SCSI, so I opted for the Coolscan IV. I figured a good

I have posted on the list a couple of times that I find no lack of depth of
field on the Nikon Coolscan IV - LS-40. After seeing several posts that
question the depth of field on the LS-4000, I decided to perform an
experiment with the Coolscan IV and post the results found here:

don't know if that is required for the USB support or if it is an issue with

To report on my problem with Genuine Fractals:
1. Thanks to all for your responses.
2. Independently, I found an Altamira support phone line in the Nikon readme

I bought a Nikon Coolscan IV about 10 days ago that has a full version of
