[filmscanners] Thanks Re: Best 35mm slide film?

2004-05-18 Thread Bill Fernandez
Thanks everyone for your slide film recommendations. I think I'll start by trying Astia. A friend with a Nikon 4000ED (the scanner I'll be using) says this has a wide exposure latitude and scans well.If I find it too flat then I'll try Provia next, then Velvia last. --Bill --

[filmscanners] Silverfast and Polaroid SS4000

2004-05-18 Thread Thomas Maugham
I have Silverfast 5.0 which came bundled with my Polaroid Sprintscan SS4000. I never used Silverfast but decided to try it. I installed it on my PC which has Windows 2000 Pro and it seems to work fine except that I can't seem to tell it which frame to scan, it defaults to only the first frame.
