Well David,
First welcome back; hope the vacation was a good one.
Now to the debate. My experiences in talking with professional
photographers ( especially wedding and portrait photographers) is that they
typically send their color negative film off to professional labs that

It seems crazy to pay $900 for a 2800dpi (Nikon

for the same or less that compares favourably
with Nikon's expensive LS4000.
There is much more to a scanner than

Tony,
I suspect you do mostly transparency work and commercial/editorial work.
Thus, it is highly likely that, if and when you have your color negative
films commercially processed, you get contact proof sheets; and if you
process your own color negative film, you make contact proof sheets and
I have the new Nikon CoolscanIV ED which I like. I have a boatload of

it. Does anyone know, and if so - does it work well? Thanks!

No it wont, a great shame, as Nikon would have sold this unit well with
the CoolScan IV.

Laurie,
You are absolutely right about this.
Alan,
It may be that the APS cartridge is at fault. My Nikon APS adapter includes
instructions that advise as little film loading and rewinding as possible
due to the nature of APS cartridges. They are designed to be loaded and
unloaded only a few times in their life.

True; but tests I've seen so far indicates that the Polaroid SS4000 and
Canon 4000 are on par with the Nikon LS4000 (some rate them actually

how the hell do you make contact prints off a whole roll?
You don't. When you send the film in for processing and proofing, the lab
processes the film and makes individual color corrected 3 1/2 x 5, 5 x 5 or
4 x6 machine made proof prints off the negatives and returns the set of

Have you actually worked with a Nikon LS-4000? It's a very fine piece of
