Have you tried something like the Nikon 8000/9000 or Minolta Multi Pro? These won't be quite as good as an Imacon but they're definitely a big step up from a flatbed without quite as much of a price jump. The only thing I'd really wish from my Minolta is faster speed. And if they'd updated it with a built-in Scanhancer as they did with the 5400, then that would save me a little post-processing and would improve shadow detail slightly. This is because the separate Scanhancer costs a bit of light and isn't quite neutral (a small price to pay for the resulting grain reduction). - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
