this morning, I received a virus through my E Mail. I believe that Norton
successfully intercepted it, but just in case, please do NOT open any E mail
that you may have received from me this AM (Friday). Since these things
spread really fast, it might be wise to double check your virus protectio
Some time ago, at the request of several on this list, I published some VERY
informal tests of the Epson Perfection 1640 at http://www.lauby.com/scanner
The images include one photo (church picture) that Jerry was kind enough to
print Piezo, with results that amazed us both. Since most of my ima
Frank,
I've been getting interested in printing black and white images using the
Piezography system (another list), and have recently been in touch with a
contributor to that discussion group. This week, I received two of my
prints enlarged to 13 x 17 printed by him. The source was scans done o
Frank,
I had some trepidation about the lack of a 120 holder. So, it was with
amusement and relief that I discovered Epson considers 120 film to be
"brownie" film. Exact fit for 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 (if you've got smaller negs,
insert a strip). I guess that means my Hasselblad is a "Swedish Brownie"
Tony,
The Perfection 1640 has a 4x5 inch window for transparency adaptor, and
would therefore not work for making a contact sheet from 35mm. The system
uses plastic holders, keeping the film roughly 1/16 inch above the glass.

Johnny, Tim,
The stated DMAX for the Perfection 1640 ($400) is 3.2. I don't have a lot
of data yet, but based on experience scanning very dark images on Kodachrome
120, it may be that good (for a cheapie) or close to it. As you indicate,
this is really a "dual 800" matrix CCD array, but the sca

Jules,
I'm waiting for Polaroid to produce their new 120 film scanner, and have
purchased a just-released Epson Perfection 1640 Photo for $395 to "tide me
over". I figured it would allow me to sort my medium format negatives,
using its transparency adaptor in the meantime. I have been surprised
Tim,
I've been looking for a "cheapie" solution for my 120 negs, until Polaroid
ships the new 4000 lpi sprintscan 120. I don't have information on the
scanner you mention, but just purchased the new Epson 1640 Perfection for
$400. It appears they've solved the soft focus problems that plagued t
Bruce,
Just to make sure, you ARE aware of the orange shift problem with the 1270,
and the metamerism problem with the 2000? Suggest you scan the Epson inkjet

has new printers in the pipeline in Japan. I'm waiting for th
