Nikon LS4000 are a better scanner regarding speed, manual film feeder,
cleaning function. They are equal regarding dynamic range.
Canon are inferior regarding noise in the black, slow but sharp as SS4000.
Nikons sharpness problem is well known today.

sorry for the long-winded subject. My LS-30 has just quit service, very
likely beyond what I'd consider worth while a repair. I have been
planning for another unit anyway, so the point is just that I have to
make up my mind a little earlier than I thought.

Is it with Nikon so that with automated film feeders there are sharpness

Ed,
The Vuescan Users' Guide mentions that the SS4000 often has registration
problems between passes and that a future version of Vuescan will fix this.
I have experienced this myself, resulting in somewhat fuzzy images. Do you
know when this might be fixed?
Thanks,

1.Take a filmstrip 6 pictures, let the motor unit drag the film inside,
normaly curved film hits the unit upper wall when it is mowing inside the
unit.,

The new SA 21 motor unit to my LS 4000 have a opening in the back and does
not curve the filmstrip inside, as my LS 2000 motor unit does.
Its seems that Nikon have solved one problem here. The motor unit in the LS

I can only answer for the LS2000 - to confirm:
a) my perception of the blown highlights and its cure is exactly as you
stated it,
b) even with LS3.1 which I use on my LS2000, the option for lo-contrast
neutral is still there, so I think it would meet your needs.

It's possible to have uneven focus at the end of film strips when using

Yes, the old Raytheon plant on RT 20. I hear we may be vacating it, rumor.
They have been moving a lot of the film manufacturing to Scotland and
Holland so there is a bunch of space in the Polaroid complex on RT 128 so it
may be back to Waltham.

Dear Group,
We are trying to decide between purchasing a Howtek D4000 and a Howtek D4500 drum
scanner. Our budget
precludes any other better models, and we have decided that we want a drum scanner,
and not a ccd.
Any thoughts on the advantages of the D4500 over the D4000 beyond speed?

Actually I don't think this is true. The motorised feeder curls the film
