Yes, that was the first review I saw that excited me so much.  I was ready
to spring when I started reading a lot of user comments comparing what they
got from their 4990 and not all that excited.  I tried extensive testing
with my 4990 concerning height of the neg and found that the holder, with no
addt'l height, gave me the sharpest neg with a holder, and flat on the glass
even a tiny bit sharper.  Too bad the latter has Newton rings everywhere!

Richard,

I had the same reaction as you a few months back and have stuck with the
4990, however, I just looked at that link and on the last page or so he
talks about having finally discovered info on adjusting the height of the
film holders and it made a world of difference for him.  Hmmmm.

From the Conclusion page of that review:

"The quality of scans I was achieving at the start of this review were as
good, if not better than I had expected, although not a marked improvement
over the Epson 4990 scans. The one small thing that puzzled me was the
Film
Height Adjusters, I had never seen these before, and using the search
facility on the User Guide I couldn't find any reference to them (the
information is there, but buried). My first tests were with them On or Off
and the results were not that spectacular different. An e-mail was sent to
me explaining the permutations and be-hold a bright light shone on the
V700.
I was totally bowled over with the quality of scans, they even surpassed
my
Nikon 4000 scans."
