Coolscan IV help
Is there anyone who owns one of these scanners that would be happy to send me a full size/res scan of a BW 100 amd 400 speed film.
I currently have the Epsom 4490 amd trying to decided if the upgrade is worth while. I know the quality is said to be much better but it would be nice to see it first hand.
Obviously there are alot of variables that can effect things but I believe it would give me a good idea.
Ideally something 1200 dpi or over.
Huge thanks
Doesn't get used much at all...
My personal recommendation, though, would be to at least try Ed Hamrick's VueScan software first. I had a Minolta Scan Dual before that, and Vuescan did make a massive difference in the quality - the Nikon is quicker, but there wasn't a great deal in the quality difference (from what I remember).
B&W is interesting, because you can't use the IR channel on it.
If you want me to scan a couple of frames for you, I'd be happy to do that. PM me and I'll give you a postal address. If you send a self-addresses envelope
Hope that helps!
