Hi all. Planning on acquiring scanner soon, I would appreciate hearing opinions/reviews from real users of Nikon IV ED. In fact, basing on numerous very positive opinions about SS4000 I would prefer this one, however it isn't available in my country (Polaroid hasn't an official distributor in Israel) and should I order it only from abroad I would be concerned about his support in the future. Besides of that, S&H from US to Israel for this kind of fine instrument would be quite high (not to mention possible Custom hassles).
That drives me into models available here and thus can be supported locally which are Minolta and Nikon. Being quite attracted by Elite II specifications I was put off the reports from the first users about strange effects caused by faulty/dirty CCD or due to another technical problems. That was quite frustrating though... On the other hand, the Nikon models suffer from AF problem as was reported more then once by either 4000ED or IV ED users. However, I would appreciate the reports from IV ED users about scanner's performance in terms of AF and dynamic range. I'm going to scan slides many of which has night scenic where dark details should be pulled out...
