[filmscanners] Re: LS4000 vs IV ED

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic@ampsc.com>]

I took a look at the website and the Astia samples.  You need to fix the
titles under the samples, they are either missing (in the cropped images
once they appear) or in the case of the full images, the top two are
listed as Vuescan Single pass, and the bottom one as Nikoscan.  I
suspect the middle image is a multipass scan??

Didn't check the other film types.
