On Thu, 2 May 2002 20:52:20 -0700 (PDT) Mishka and others wrote much about Film Scanners: I recently purchased teh Canon CanoScan FS4000 US It does upto 4000 dpi and 48 bit color, but as you \ know, most pc's struggle with 24 bit, unless you have linux and can do 36 dpi graphics with the GIMP.
I am very happy with the results and coupled with my Epson Stylus Photo 1290 I can achieve good results without much fuss. Be aware though, scanning at 4000dpi creates image sizes of 60 Meg+ but it does allow you to produce fine A3 prints. I am very happy with this scanner and am about to put the old Epson FilmScan 200 on ebay. The only problem I have found is the lab I use cuts the negs into 4 and puts them in a nice little sleeve. The scanner will take a neg strip up to 6 frames, but the lab does not have sleeves for that length.... Kind regards Kevin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
