The improvements for flatbed scanners to scan film are making unnecessary the dedicated film scanners manufacture, at least for MF and LF (the bests film scanners have some advantage for 35mm yet). The 4990 and the v750-700 have 4.00 DMAX; the 4490 and 4990 have two lamps, but the v750-Pro also has two lenses, depending on the resolution selected, the lens carriage will switch and the appropriate lens will be set in place. The v750 also has a fluid mount accesory, a wet film holder that you could find in drum scanners only; wet mount scanning is especially valuable for black and white film, since other scratch removal technologies, including Digital ICE, are not effective on monochrome film. I chose the 4490 because I only do MF and 35mm photography, and the scanning software is almost the same for the 4490, the 4990 and the v700-750 models, I think these three models offer from very good to excellent scanning quality according the scanned material, however the v750M Pro is top of the line for the Epson Perfection models.- All the best Carlos --- steven woody <narkewoody@xxxxxxxxx> escribió: > On 8/8/06, Carlos Manuel Freaza > <cmfreaza@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > --- steven woody <narkewoody@xxxxxxxxx> escribió: > > > > > > i heard epson 4990, does 4490 a typo or a > similar > > > one? > > > woody > > > > They are two different models, the 4490 is a > flatbed > > scanner that has 35mm and MF slides and negs (up > to > > 6x12cm)scanning capability; the 4990 is for large > > format too.- > > thanks. still like to know there is how much > difference between epson > v700 ( or v750) and 4490? there is a big price > gap. it's hard to > make a decision. > > > > > All the best > > Carlos > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > > Preguntá.
