Polaroid still has their free dust and scratch remover software (DSR) on
their website:

I've found it to be pretty effective. It won't work with compressed

I've gotten good results from the Epson 2450 with 645 and 6x6, have
recently upgraded to the 4870 and am quite happy.

that something needs fixing with the OS and that in turn should help

Norm,
I think you're on target with the what works approach but will echo
the comments about the Tamron 28-300. I have the 28-200, which is fine
but a friends 28-300 is disapointingly soft. If memory serves, that was
also noted in reviews of the lens (and photography mags tend only to

That's a question to toss to the folks at Adobe. Unless you're doing
real critical work, you probably don't need the profiles (sounds like
heresy, I know). Getting custom profiles done can be an expensive
proposition.

Berry,
I've gotten reasonable quality prints from my Minolta DiMage S414, but
there are a number of quality cameras out there now -- Oly E1, Pentax

I've used my Epson 2450 to good effect scanning 645 and 6x6 negatives
and slides, so I would imagine the 3200 would do well.

replacement.
My 2450 is the same vintage as yours and has seen plenty of
use but without any dim or dark areas in the light source.
These are probably florescent tubes and you're seeing the

I typically shoot Provia but from time to time try other chromes. I haven't
noticed that Provia poses any greater challenge to scan than other
emulsions, despite the fact that Vuescan treats it as generic. I'm using
a SprinScan 4000 for 35mm and an Epson 2450 for 120. The dominant variable

I use a micro-porous cloth (the kind sold for cleaning lenses) most of

PEC-12 if the neg or slide really needs cleaning.
The Polaroid dust and scratch software does quite a nice job of cleanup
as well.

Polaroid suggests the use of Adaptec products and will offer technical
support.
I have the Adaptec AIC 7850 and Win XP has no problems with it. The
scanner needs a 50 pin Centronics M or DB-25M connector.

I have two enlargers -- diffusion and condenser -- which I use for my

I've had a similar experience after the SS4000 has been on for awhile
and I'm using Viewscan. I eject the film holder and reboot both
computer and scanner. That fixes it. There's no obvious consistency as
to when the problem occurs and its not that frequent.

I was fairly well set to buy this scanner to replace my flatbed but I
find that it's out of stock at the places I usually buy equipment from

some product changes? Or is this thing just selling faster than they
can build them?

OK -- here goes:
Any recommendations for a SCSI adapter for the

takes a SCSI 2 card, no?

Hey, you were
Is it the 4000 or the 4000+ that's currently
available? I couldn't tell from a quick look at the Polaroid
website. I did notice that the rebates appear to have been extended until
January 31st -- a good thing, no doubt.

I'm a major Fuji fan but I'm disappointed with the Superia films. I'd stick
with the pro (NPS, NPH) films. The bigger question is why shoot print
