Bob has anyone done a review on the rfs3600 yet? Or any first hand experience using it? Dave Small
RE: Kodak RFS 3600 (was: filmscanners: Side Step, Have a question)
I have yet to test this. I do have some uncut rolls and a real job that interferes with my scanning time. As soon as I figure this out, I will post it.

Re: Kodak RFS 3600 (was: filmscanners: Side Step, Have a question)
I had one. I sent it back for the SS4000. I may have had a bad unit, but it crashed my Mac G3 every third time I tried to acquire the scanner's software from within Photoshop. It seems to be memory hungry. My unit sounded like a jack hammer when it scanned. It could have had an internal problem. Non the less the scans where noisy--(grain). The colors where vivid but blotchy. I could not get a good scan using the different CMSs. It only worked well on the default settings. I have used a leafscan 35, a polariod sprintscan 35, and an RFS 2035. I felt that the scans from the 3600 left something lacking--detail. The edges of objects in the scan seemed rough and blended together to much when you zoom in on the image. However I was able to make some nice Epson 1200 prints from the scans. I think Kodak has some bugs to iron out with the 3600. I have just set up the SS4000. I can't wait to compare the two. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Bob has anyone done a review on the rfs3600 yet?

Re: Kodak RFS 3600 (was: filmscanners: Side Step, Have a question)
Bob, the way I found to handle 37 or more frames is to do the first 36 frames and then do the others, it is not really a problem. The RFS 3600 leaves the filmstrip on the last frame scanned so you can just restart from there. I mentioned scanning more than 36 frames to Kodak and I was told that there would be another software and firmware version released in a few weeks. I don't know if that statement implies that a change in this area is coming or not. HTH Dan Kimble Bob Shomler wrote: > > >They have a quick start guide, but no manual. It is a > >.pdf.

There are a few articles about this scanner in scanner
news group. Most people tried it were dissapointed
because of its scanning speed (almost 4 mins/slide
???). One person even said it pull out less shadow
detail than his old polaroid 35+.
Check that group out.

The articles were on the "usenet" alt.comp.periphs.scanner You can access the Usenet through your browser news function. I you have not done so already you will need to get the name of your ISP's news server. It is usually news.ispname.com but sometimes can be different. Your ISP should have a FAQ for accessing Usenet news groups. There are literally thousands of news groups David -Original Message- From: Dana Trout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2000 12:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Kodak RFS 3600 (was: filmscanners: Side Step, Have a question) What scanners news group?

I was talking about the usenet newsgroup for scanners
(comp.periphs.scanners) It's a world wide forum about
scanners and scanning softwares. You can get to it by
www.dejanews.com or some other news server.
Some members here are also active in that forum such
as Ed. Hamrick etc.

Please let me know what you think about the noise generated by the SS4000. I'm curious because I returned a SS4000 because I felt it was noisy and did not sound good mechanically. I'm happier with the RFS 3600 Dan Kimble Trozzo wrote: > > I had one. I sent it back for the SS4000.
