It would make sense that some people would experience worse banding than

I've just been running it in the normal (not fine) mode. At 4000 ppi w/ICE,

Title: RE: filmscanners: Nikon 8000ED
The Nikon does seem marginally sharper but the Polaroid seems to have better shadow detail (lower right side of the uncropped shot). However, it is a little tough to tell from the small .jpg.
Lawrence, I assume you'll post more conclusions when you

What is it that surprises you?
More contrast on the Sprintscan..nikon colors and saturation are better

;happy accident"--if the theme were
"Yelow Knife, Canada," the roles might be reversed. :-)
As Lawrence said on his site, the judgement is largly subjective, and so
it's your call.

Paul--
Be sure you check out Digital ROC and Digital GEM as part of your
comparison. I've been using Digital ROC on normally exposed images with
a wide dynamic range
where part of the image I'm interested in is over/under exposed with
great results. It is also very helpful
Or apply the USM while in RGB or CMYK, then "Edit-Fade Unsharp Mask-Mode:
Luminosity"

The Sprintscan 120 does not come bundled with any interface cards. I would
describe PolaColor Insight as a easy to use, get up and running

I'd say do a scan of a standard slide in an automated test setup. This is
standard issue for most any product of "this nature". Cripes, for a $3k+
scanner, they can take 4 minute
