Hello Brian. The Nikon scanner is not out of focus.
Nikon LS 4000 are sharp in the middle of the film area but un sharp out
against the sides and corner . The example are from the right side of a
slide film.
Next small jpg file are from our test motive . The test motive shows in the
middle of the jpg file. This is from the left corner.
I hope that every one can se the difference in resolution and sharpness.
Look below the text.
Nikon have a big problem with the depth of field. Best results gets with
glass framed film and 100% film flatness. Low light source and to open
f-stop lens construction is the main problem. Im a owner of 2 Nikon scanner
LS2000 and LS 4000, they have the same problem.
Best regards
Mikael Risedal
