David,
I think it was you that mentioned a bulk slide loader and bulk neg loader
that were under development for the SS4000. I'd guess that was six months
or so ago. Any word on their development? It's about the only reason I'm
considering switching to a 4000 ED.

Don't see why anyone is surprised to learn that there is film curvature with
35mm negs in the Nikon scanner.
Every pro lab knows that you have to use glass holders for film when working

sharpness...

Ed still wants me to send him a log file, which I can't do, since it hangs on
preview and wipes out the log file.
I e-mailed him back suggesting he generate a series of logfiles in his
application, i.e. logfile1, logfile2, logfile3, etc. Each file would write just
a step or two then CLOSE itself.
No trick - line screen frequency relates to optimal
print resolution but is not the same thing.
If 320lpi works best on your set-up, though, there
is no way I would say you were overshooting or somehow wrong. The proof is
in the (empirical) pudding.
