Hi Bill,
I was wondering whether you've tried scanning any of these slides on a Polaroid
SS4000 and compared the results?

Has anyone done any testing on the depth of field on the SS4000?  I've heard
a lot about the Nikons, but not much about the Polaroid.  I'm not disputing
there's a problem - I'm just wondering whether the problem persists with
other 4000dpi scanners and the same slides?

Strictly speaking, the problem with the Nikon is depth of field, not focus.
:)

[question to all]
Has anyone with a SS4000 found a curved slide that causes a problem?
My impression is that the Polaroid's light source is bright enough to avoid
DOF problems.
