Very interested and much appreciated.
That's one way to scan a 2 1/4 in a SS4000 :)
The noticeable differences are in the stonework and the verticals on the
balcony.

Hi Stan,
I had a friend scan a 2 1/4 slide on his Epson 2450. Then I cut the trans
down just enough that I could scan it on my Polaroid SS4000 at
4000spi. Next I printed out crops from the scans on my Epson 1270 printer
at a scale that would equate to a 13"x13" print of the full 2 1/4"
slide. If I remember correctly my friend used the Epson twain with the
2450 and I used Silverfast with the SS4000. The colors from the two scans
were slightly different, shadow detail was very similar, and the scan from
the SS4000 was just a touch sharper but it wasn't anything that jumped out
at you in the prints or on the screen. In fact, it was hard for me to tell
any difference in the details in the two prints when viewed from arms
length. I would think that there would be even less of a difference when
scanning 4x5s.
Here's a scan of the prints that I made for comparison. They were printed
on a single sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 Office Depot glossy paper. The 2450 scans
are at the top and the SS4000 scans are at the bottom.
