This is a bit disconcerting ... indeed, why offer 4000dpi resolution?
For my LS-2000, I found this to be particularly true for one type of
film feeder and not the other. That is, for the film strip feeder I
measured considerable difference for fine focus, edge to center. But
that this is improved significantly if the film frame is supported
(sandwiched) on all four sides in the 6x "film strip holder". Has
Nikon discontinued the same film holder they have included with every
scanner since the LS-10???
