Mikael:
Sorry, I don't buy your conclusions. I have not seen unsharpness on the
edges of my scans with the LS-40. The Japanese images showed sharp grain on
the edges. From many years of focusing grain under an enlarger, believe me,
you do not even see grain if the film is out of the plane of focus a minor
tick. So far the LS-40 with Nikons ED glass and autofocus is superb. What
I see in the Japanese LS-4000 images is a lens that does not perform well at
the edges on an image blown up several times larger than the D1x image. I
see imprecise experimental methods.
