Worth knowing. Is this retro-fittable to the LS1000/LS30/LS2000 - which all
used the same design glassless type?

I received a Coolscan IV about a week ago. I have had no problem with edge
to edge sharpness with any of the methods of inserting film - mounted
glassless slides, film strips or negative carrier. Here are some scans:

Yes, enlargers can be bought with glass neg carriers, but guess what
Anyone who ever used a camera or an enlarger, or basically any other
device of that nature, knows that the depth of field is dependent upon
the aperture size. In the case of the enlarger (or film scanner) the
depth of field of the focus range depends upon the length of the light
path and the

Anyone know the part number for this? I'm wondering if it may help with
edge-to-edge sharpness on an LS30 as well. Admittedly I'm quite happy with
the focu

I'm curious about the Nikon software. Are relying on automatic
focus? And
are by doing a own test, and compare it, against other scanners on the
market.

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
to critical sharpness, 35mm or 5x4". and 4000 dpi needs critical
sharpness...
