filmscanners: Scanning large format without a bank loan

2001-04-18 Thread Arthur Entlich
First off, let me explain that the reason I haven't been very active on the list the last week is twofold, 1) my ISP has somehow corrupted my mailbox again, and I have to go through a painful process to read my mail, and torture to actually reply to it. 2) If that weren't painful enough I'm

Some time ago, at the request of several on this list, I published some VERY informal tests of the Epson Perfection 1640 at http://www.lauby.com/scanner The images include one photo (church picture) that Jerry was kind enough to print Piezo, with results that amazed us both. Since most of my

Hi "Minolta Dimage Scan Dula II" scanner has USB interface. Yes I can look for event log. Let me try Vuescan too; How does Vuesacn's scans compare with the ones taken from Minolta supplied softwares. I have written a mail to Minolta. Minolta is so bad, none of the document that came with

I live in Salt Lake City, which has fairly sizeable contingent of extremely picky photogs... especially the large format landscape shooters... My local pro shop, Pictureline, which takes on the air of catering to the trade, has started to push the Epson 1640, which it seems a fair number of their

Hi James Never used the 1640, but I noticed the UK computer magazine liked it whilst having a free browse at Smiths. It was up against some proper film scanners as well as flatbeds. I didn't read it properly and I am not always too impressed with their reviews. They may even have preferred it

Hi! My experience is with the Scan Multi. My experience is that the Minolta software gives more options, which may however not always be very obvious. Vuescan is normally calibrated using a Q60 slide, but there are no utilities for individual calibration by user. It has setting for a lot of

Edwin Thanks for the link. But the Euro Nikon website implies that NikonScan 3.0 is only for the LS-40 and LS-4000. It still offers NikonScan 2.5.1 for the LS-30 and LS-2000. I'm using 2.5.1 with my LS-30. I'll wait for reports that 3.0 does work with the older scanners, and provides some

Oh I assure you that it does work, and the improvements in the interface are well worth the trouble to install it. You only must un-install 2.5.1 before you install it. Perhaps you should check out the manual for it before you give it a try, a 2.68 MB pdf. I have gotten great colors on

I almost always use Vuescan, in preference to NS 2.5.1, but the few scans I did with NS 3.0 came out beautiful, both trans and negatives, so another comparison might be in order, but NS 3.0 has a wealth of new features and looking at the manual download would explain much more than I could
