[filmscanners] Re: Nikon Coolscan 4000 ED

That's an interesting observation.  Although I haven't used the SS4000
personally (I have used the SS4000+), yours is the first report I am
aware of with a complaint about the shadow detail on the SS4000, in fact
until the newest generation of scanners (the SS4000+, the Canon FS4000
the Nikon 4000ED) it was considered by most to have the best shadow
response of all the prosumer scanners on the market.  Perhaps yours was
defective.
