[filmscanners] Re: Nikon LS4000 alignment

I have never noticed a rotation problem with my scanner (though I've
never done any scanning where lack of rotation would be critical),
and doubt that there is any mechanical adjustment designed for the
consumer to use.  --Bill

I've asked this before, but got no information. I'm consistently
getting a 0.5degree rotation to my images scanned with the
LS-4000 scanner. It seems that there must be some
mis-alignment with the scanning mechanism. I'm wondering
if this is something that can be adjusted or not. It makes scanning
xpan shots for stitching more difficult. Has anyone else experienced
this problem? Any suggestions are very welcome.

It might be possible to tell what the problem is by opening the box and
examining things. I don't have the LS-4000, but the LS-2000, which I believe
is built in basically the same way, is a pretty simple device, and you can
see quite a bit of its guts just by taking the outer box off. For instance,
there's a mirror in the optical path that could have come slightly loose,
and might be crooked.
