RE: filmscanners: how to clean film?

2001-12-09 Thread Hemingway, David J
My experience with the vast majority slides is if you want to get the maximum shadow detail and sharpness you can clean and scan the slide faster with a scanner using a diffuse light source than with a scanner that needs multi-scanning to get maximum shadow detail and IR dust detection. David

Bernie, The proof of purchase is a secondary label above the serial sticker that has a bar code starting with the number sequence 0 74100 This is the UPC code for the product. Any inexpensive SCSI card will do just find. I would expect it would cost no mare $40 - $60. David

that being said the 4000+ will support multiscanning and it has been implemented in the 4000+ version of Silverfast. It was done to satisfy the check box buyers. In my personal view any scanner requiring multiscanning to get acceptable results is poorly designed. David -Original Message- From

I would think Silverfast probably does already for the Nikon scanners but have no first hand experience. When I scan with my Nikon's I use Nikonscan. David -Original Message- From: Al Bond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 5:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED

Yes, the old Raytheon plant on RT 20. I hear we may be vacating it, rumor. They have been moving a lot of the film manufacturing to Scotland and Holland so there is a bunch of space in the Polaroid complex on RT 128 so it may be back to Waltham. David -Original Message- From: Wilson

David Newton rings are an interference cancellation from light trying to get through two transparent but reflective surfaces that are less than a wavelength apart

I would guess about $250, the tooling costs and limited volume to spread those costs are why it will be a little pricey. That AN glass is not cheap either!! David -Original Message- From: Op's [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 5:30 AM To: [EMAIL
