Ken, Have you made a head-to-head comparison between the 4990 and Coolscan IV on 35mm? I did that by scanning a slide at West Photo in Minneapolis on their Coolscan V and then scanning the same slide on my Epson 4870. I scanned them both for a 16x24 print at 300 dpi and, for the life of me, I couldn't see any more detail or resollution in the Coolscan scan. I was all set to buy a Coolscan, but have stuck with the Epson since making that comparison. Bob

For 35mm, I'm still using my Nikon Coolscan IV.Ken Frazier --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
