Have an LS4000 ED... far more quiet than the Microtek ArrtixScan 4000T is was using before... it does occasionally make grinding sounds... butas mentioned less than the ArtixScan and often runs pretty silently... have no other 35mm scanners to compare with...

How do you know that this is not clear film (for negatives) or maximum density (for transparencies)? I have found with the LS-8000ED that shadows that appear to be completely black actually _do_ have quite a bit of detail hidden within them, if I lighten them up enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
