You seem to be overlooking the option of buying the LS-30 and saving
about 1/2 the price of the LS-2000. Are you aware it's basically the

1) place your feet shoulder width apart. (And if possible brace your
torso against an immovable object.)
2) hold most of the weight of the camera in your left hand with the hand
under the lens (focusing with the thumb and forefinger.)
3) bring both elbows into contact
You probably would be happy with either one. I have had the LS2000 for over
a year - the SS4000 either wasn't out then or I wasn't aware of it. I
wanted the ICE, which was then only available on Nikon -it's good stuff.
Some people say there is some loss of sharpness with it, but if so, it has

I used to shoot negatives mainly because my old PhotoSmart scanner cannot
handle slides well. That's why I have many negatives and only a little
slides in home. If I have a good scanner, I will certainly shoot more slides
in the future. :-)

HI, Ron!
I agree with you that a 4000 dpi scanner will allow for much greater
cropping before losing too many pixels of resolution. The question is
simply--How much are we willing to pay for all this extra resolution.
As I have stated repeatedly, I am a serious amateur. I can't afford to pay
I know SS4000's color from negatives were not as good as
LS-2000. But now, SS4000 is bundled with SilverFast Ai 5.0, which has a

SS4000+SilverFast with LS- 2000? If they are similar, I might buy the

I'm just curious what film settings you use in Vuescan for Superia 400.

HI, Bob!
The only rub there is that I'd have to buy a bunch of new cameras! I like
my Kievs and my Minolta Maxxum 9000 (and Mamiya ZE-Xs too!)
My wife has been remarkably understanding about my photographic purchases,
even the Scan Multi II , but I want to stay married ;-).
Thanx for the
All of this is excellent advice, but if time permits also using a short

Al,
Perhaps you might elaborate on just how you merge the two images? I
experimented a little with two step wedge images and found that just
merging them in "normal" mode and 50% opacity results in reduced
contrast in shadows and highlights - the areas where good tonal
separation would be needed
I was on Photokina 2000. There was one such scanner. I was playing with this
but it was quite strange experience. I thought that such company like Kodak
should have ready software for such exebition.
I was scanning for test my slide on different models of scanners. So I tried
on this model. And
"accidentally" is probably the key lie there.
After it survived the boiling water test, I was destructively frustrated.
Not something to try with Cibas mind you.

The Microtek and Polaroid scanners are identical and both made by Microtek.
The only difference is the Polaroid external case and the software that
comes with the scanner. Silverfast is the best for either scanner. Buy
whichever is cheaper considering what software is bundled with the scanner.
I compose in the camera, that's why I paid for the viewfinder ;)
I second that. It is rare that I don't print a negative full frame...

I was equally curious, but the RFS 3600 is already a month past due. I've
been waiting too long for it. I ordered the Polaroid SS4000 yesterday,

convenient scanner. I especially like the ability load in a whole role of
