Hi David,
            Thanks for your reply, I am aiming to try and purchase a medium
format scanner towards the end of this year if the funds allow. At the
moment the choice is between the Polaroid and the Minolta. The only negative
aspects I can see with the Polaroid is the insecurity of the company itself
although as more and more time goes by I imagine things may be improving,
and the lack of Ice. Is Ice in the future of the SS120?

Geoff,
The SS120 compares favorably with the Precision II. Ian Lyons did a
comparison and posted on his web site. I have talked to several customers
who have evaluated both . The consensus is the Precision II is better but
only by a narrow margin and it is 2 or 3 times the price. Imacon's software
is very good, on the same level as Silverfast but some find the film carrier
a pain for 35mm. Personally I feel pretty good to be in the same ballpark as
the Precision at 2 or 3 times the price.
David

Hi David,

That prompts the question, how does the Imacon compare to the Polaroid
SS120? Bearing in mind that there is still a significant price difference
and that you are allowed to be a fraction biased.... :-)

I own a Flextight and called Imacon Tech support to find out if sharpening
was shut of at 0. They told me it was not, I asked why and they told me the
programmers thought "everyone" would want some sharpening. I confirmed this
with Andrew Rodney.
