In Reply to: Re: Older Film Scanners... yes can I help? posted by Joe M on February 10, 2002 at 06:20:48:
In spite of their age, I have seen a lot of references praising this unit. Many folks say that it is still the best film scanner ever made. This seems somewhat contrary to your response. In every case they have been deemed superior to their successors. Of course, because of their age, the price is certainly right now.What makes you feel this way? Do you feel the Kodak is a better unit among "vintage" film scanners?
My photographic endeavors nowadays are 80-90% digital. However I do have an archive of negatives, and still shoot a little 35mm and MF. I acquired these units for casual use- what are your thoughts about that application?
Thanks!
Tim
Follow Ups:
it is very fast to bring up a preview, which is large enough to evaluate whether a slide is sharpe or the one we want to enlarge .Like sort of using a loop to make our selection.
You can update it's software on the Kodak site, for any company's film stock profile.It's also forgiving enough not to show every dust speck.So less photoshop corrections ergo faster unit.
We never have to get ours serviced.
If I were buying my own today, I would want the lastest Nikon Coolscans
super 4000ED or 8000ED (for 2 1/4 negs)Their Digital Ice works like magic.Hope this helps!
