[filmscanners] RE: Tips needed on difficult scan

["Alex Zabrovsky" <alexz@zoran.co.il>]

Hi.
I posted a query in regard of LS-40 (IV ED) performance for the scanner
users, however nobody answered yet. (I even though no LS-40 users on the
List yet)
Would appreciate if you will give your opinion about this scanner.
I mainly care about his true dynamic range for the ability to pull out dark
details (I shoot a lot of night scenic) against his noise level and the
Nikon's known AF (insufficient DOF) problem from which 4000ED (and
apparently LS-40) are reported to suffer from.
Did you experienced DOF problem with either mounted/unmounted slides and
negative strips ?
Does the LS-40 allows multi-pass or multi-sampling ?

Regards,
Alex Z

Remind us what scanner you have, Ken?

Bear in mind that dark bits on Velvia are considered the evil of the
filmscanning world - so dark that lots of scanners simply can't see
properly!  Multi-pass scanning with Vuescan in combination with the "Long
exposure" pass, with my Nikon LS40, didn't improve the scanner's ability to
see into the black.  Velvia is definitely just a little too much for the
LS40...  (As is Kodachrome.)
