From: "Ed Verkaik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>>>>>>>>> Anyone on here ever used a Howtek 4500 drum scanner? Someone told me it will blow away the best dedicated slide scanners. I've used a Nikon 4000ED for awhile and am basically happy but have always wondered if a cheap, used drum scanner would be worth getting. <<<<<<<<<<<<<
The guy who maintains this page http://www.terrapinphoto.com/jmdavis/ Tried to make a "cheap used" drum scanner fly and failed. >>>>>>> Is there enough of a quality difference for either stock or fine art? Would all slides (35mm) need to be wet mounted? Convenience is still a factor for me. :-) <<<<<<< People claim they can see amazing differences between drum scans and Nikon scans. I can't. http://www.terrapinphoto.com/jmdavis/lws_8000.jpg http://www.terrapinphoto.com/jmdavis/lws_4500.jpg David J.
