Re: filmscanners: Polaroid SS4000 / 4000+ / 120 ???

[Bernie Kubiak]

Is it the 4000 or the 4000+ that's currently available?  I couldn't tell from a quick look at the Polaroid website.  I did notice that the rebates appear to have been extended until January 31st  -- a good thing, no doubt.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Hemingway, David J To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 12:52 PM Subject: RE: filmscanners: Polaroid SS4000 / 4000+ / 120 ??? David. Yes, it is better but depending on your use and requirements is it worth the extra money? Silverfast has developed a multi-scan function for the 4000+ that I am told works well. Have not seen it myself. I would imagine one could develop a test that showed the differences but I am not sure you would see that much difference on a practical basis. One thing I have found out is in the film scanner community one mans definition of great/wonderful  can be less than adequate for another man. Frankly and at least based on US pricing it is tough to beat the present Sprintscan 4000 deal.

This is really a question for David Hemingway but maybe others have experience... How much better is the SS4000 + compared to the 'old' 4000? On paper it's a better bit depth, am I correct? The Firewire doesn't matter, are the results noticeably better? And, just for 35mm, will the SS120 produce a better scan than the SS4000 or the 4000+? -- David Gordon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
