so it does not seem to be the light output itself, but maybe falloff in the optical system. I assume this scanner uses a florescent tube for illumination, have you tried taking the tube out and reversing it?

There is another aspect of digicams that should be driving their prices lower than they have been so far: Shutter cycle life. The best shutters in the world have a theoretical cycle life of around 300,000 cycles. Practical shutter life spans are closer to 150,000-200,000.So on a $2000

2003-02-08 Thread Ed Verkaik
Do any Nikon owners have any experience of whether changing the orientation does actually have a bearing on the rate of dust build up on the mirrors? If this is the case, is there some other design criteria which makes keeping the film in the horizontal plane more important than keeping dust of

No, but the result is the same whether you are using the light in the transparency unit (the lid), or the built in light in the base (for prints). But the question is, shouldn't calibration take care of this? I thought that was what calibration did. I'm not all that knowledgeable on these
