Re: filmscanners: What causes this and is there any easy solution ?
My experience as well. The lenses Kodak provides for their projectors are very forgiving should we say. My Navitar Gold lenses certainly define what I'm looking at. Art John Matturri wrote: Haven't been following this thread all that closely so this may have been covered. But what lens are you using for your projections? If it is a lens supplied with most projectors the poor quality might be a masking factor. The difference between one of these lenses and a Buhl or similar projection lens is pretty substantial.

Re: filmscanners: LS-2000 VS LS-40
OK. So which other scanners offer these feature currently, and which are being upgraded to offer them? Is Nikon going to offer these added features for the LS-2000?

Re: filmscanners: Vuescan
At present I am having a big problem getting accurate colours in a scan of a negative in the latest 7.0.19 . Has anyone else had colour balance problems like the above? Thanks. Colin Maddock Hi again Colin For what its worth I'm reposting my findings on the subject using MacOS9.1, Canoscan FS2710. I haven't revisited the problem since January 1st so I'll scan the same neg using the latest Vuescan and see if there's been any improvement. Scanned slides in Vuescan are better that ever, but for me after Ver6.0.2 neg scans have deteriorated for some reason (see links below). Hi all I'm having problems with the later versions of Vuescan and was hoping someone might be able to help. I running MacOS9 and scanning on a Canoscan FS2710. For the past 4 months I've been using Vuescan 6.0.2 which was one of the last versions still to have the Gamma: option, this version has been outputting the best neg scans I have ever seen from my scanner. I upgraded to the next version incorporating Image Brightness/Contrast but was unable to get anyway near the excellent scans 6.0.2 output. Just recently, having noticed that the latest version of Vuescan had improvements for the FS2710, I installed Vuescan 6.4.9 and still I get terrible scans even though I have set all the options exactly as the 6.0.2 version. To show just what a difference there is between the 2 versions I've posted images here together with a list of the settings: http://homepage.eircom.net/~ricwalsh/649_scan.htm Click next and previous for images. If someone else has the same set-up I would dearly love to send a copy of 6.02 for them to confirm my output. You may well ask why would I want to upgrade if the scans are excellent from 6.02, well... I'm missing out on the button option which I like, and the manual crop actually works now. Plus I don't want to be left behind as the regular updates are posted. Am I missing some hidden option that will cure this problem.

filmscanners: VueScan 7.0.20 Available
I just released VueScan 7.0.20 for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. It can be downloaded from: http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html The Mac OS version now runs on Mac OS X (it's a Carbon application) and also runs on Mac OS 8.x/9.x. What's new in version 7.0.20 * Converted Mac OS version to run on Mac OS 8/9/X (USB scanners only supported on Mac OS 8.x/9.x) * Upgraded to wxWindows 2.3 and improved the responsiveness of the user interface * Added support for FireWire UMAX scanners on Windows Regards, Ed Hamrick P.S. If anyone has a FireWire scanner connected to their Mac OS X system, could you let me know if it works with VueScan 7.0.20? There's a fair chance it will work.
Re: filmscanners: What causes this and is there any easy solution ?
The projector you have is typical of many of the time period, but I'm not sure what that time period is. I'm guessing late 1930's to mid 1950's. Some have a metal plate with patent numbers and dates on them if you look carefully. I used to be able to pick them up for $5 at Goodwill. They usually use either a backlight or metal straight line slide tray, or use none and you had to do a left hand right hand manual feeding via the contraption that fed the slides. They usually had no fan, just a black baffle at the top, if that, going to venting holes) so the bulb would heat up the thing to a very high level, making it dangerous to touch. I'm not so sure it was good for the slides either, although some used a heat absorbing glass between the lamp and the condenser lens. I imagine if you keep it long enough it will become a true collectors item, as I'm sure many have now reached the landfill. I finally dismantled several of mine and kept the lenses and condensers and other interesting parts. I just ran out of room for them. I guess with people like me, the value of yours will go up ;-) Those older lenses were, as you mention, often better than the current ones provided with most projectors. Some were even German made. Art Steve Greenbank wrote: As mentioned in a previous message the projector does display the grain, but there is so little in Velvia that at 40x60 you still have to look hard and get within 16 inches to see it. Some slides like early Fujichrome 400 the grain is obvious from 15 feet. The projector is a relic made entirely of steel and cast iron! It's probably worth many times it's original purchase value. It was quite old when it was given to my Dad. He had it for around 20 years before I appropriated it by stealth, as a poor student, 20 years ago. It was made by Aldis. The lens is an Aldis Star Anastigmat 100mm. I have never thought it was stunning, but it was better than the modern alternatives I have seen. The one thing that did worry me was it runs extremely hot (you can only touch the body for a brief moment before burning). But the slide carrier and the lens are on steel rails that allow you to move the slide about an inch from the body and in this position the slides only get slightly warm and I certainly don't see the slide adjust focus as the film bends in the heat- something that I have seen quite often on modern projectors. Steve PS Can anyone date the projector ?
