[snip] I can now see no way to rescue this list from terminal decline except moderated posting, or at least zero-tolerance moderation. I simply don't have the time or energy for either, even if I did want to play policeman, which I don't. It's been tedious lately, but I think it's worth keeping.

Thanks, Bruce. I'm running out of Supra 400 and wondering whether to replace it with Superia 400 or HD. And soon I'll have to replace Supra 100 too. Sam I just shot a bunch of snapshots with this new consumer 400 speed film. I just wanted to pass along a note that it gives wonderful scans (on

Thanks for this site Erik. I'm not sure what to make of these no-name reviews. Can you tell us who's behind the site and where they're coming from? It's less important, but I was disappointed in the Polaroid review because it's now so dated. Maybe they all are. Sam Hi! This site has a lot of

If anyone else is on the scan@leben list... are you having problems? All my messages to it bounced yesterday and I got no mail from it today. Code red strikes? Art I had a similar problem with an epson-inkjet list message, so I'm afraid its somehow related to Mitchell Leben's server(s).

My use will be to scan for archive, and for high resolution prints (Epson 1270 up to A3), of some valuable older Kodachrome (a few Ectachrome) slides. I'll also be scanning new slides and negatives. Most are in good shape (fairly clean, a few dust spots but seldom scratches); I use

2001-06-27 Thread Sam A. McCandless
I'm trying to decide between these two scanners. They both claim 16-bit output, however the Polaroid scans in 12 bit and outputs in 16; and the Nikon scans in 14 bit (I think) and outputs in 16. Are both of these options as good as true 16 bit scanning? Any input would be so appreciated, since

I'm adding a Polaroid Sprint Scan 4000 to my already crowded desktop, and it does not seem (I don't have a level) to sit precisely level in either of the two places I had hoped to put it. That worries me because I think I remember reading somewhere that it's important that a scanner sit
