Austin, I noticed you use Leafscan 45.
I stepped up into meadium format (6x7) about a half year ago and then
my main headache became the inability of quality scanning at my home
convenience as I used to with my 35mm by Nikon IV ED.
Flatbeds are out of question, I've tried a few of recent machines
I found NI to be a tad more effective then GEM in terms of smoothign
teh grain and preserving a little bit more details. The difference is
ceratinly subjective and often hard to tell, but nevertheless it is
what I noticed. Bear in mind I have yet learnt all the great
capabilites of NI to treat
I scan by LS-40.
Since NI evaluation and purchase I found one a little bit more
effective for grain smoothing then the GEM. Slightly smoother
performance and a touch less impact on sharpness.
However, if detail sharpness is critical, it may still have certain
impact on one. I figured for my uses
First of all, I wouldn't consider the test to be valid bearing teh huge
gap in lens qualities.

Hi.
Would be interested to hear your opinions about both models, their
real-world comparison specifically.
I used to have IV ED (LS-40) using it intensively for over 2 years so
far.

Hi.
Recently, being thrilled by medium format, just a few minutes ago I
stepped in winning the Ebay auction for Rolleicord Vb (6x6 TLR).
So far I used to digitize everything out of my EOS-3 by my Nikon LS-40,
however now I'll be stumbled with 6x6 that I'll not be able to scan
with conveniece.
Thanks Austin, I am. :-)
But I suspect teh Leafscan 45 (of Scitex, right ?) costs a fortune,
doesn't it ?

GEM has more notches on the slider, but I'm now convinced
that
Neat Image is the way to go, leaving GEM off.

Once I need to convert to sRGB I do it as almost the final step - just
prior to comressing and saving as JPEG.

Hi friends.
Searching net to any scanner's related information I run onto new Canon's
product:
Canon FS 4000US. Technical details seems to be quite impressive, especially
from pricing standpoint: under 1 k$ (about 900 US$ in US).
4000 dpi optical resolution, 14 bit data width for each of R/G/B
Oh Tomas, that would be great.
I would really appreciate if you would mention how much manual post
processing was involved
in each final image and also if it would be possible to send original (scan
out) image aside with your manually corrected.
BTW, did you try it with Fuji Sensia II for slides
