[filmscanners] RE: help with opinions on film scanners

["Bernie Kubiak" <bkubiak@attbi.com>]

Jeff --

I've scanned Kodachrome on my Polaroid 4000 using Vuescan with excellent
results so you should expect the same or better with the 4000+.  Most of the
Kodachrome I've scanned is old -- 50's and 60's -- treasures from the
archives of my SO's family.  
Polaroid used to get a bit more play on the list.   The scanners are a
quality product and when my Nikon owning friends grumble about things, I
just shrug.

Have any of you tried scanning Kodachrome mounted 35mm slides?  I was very
disappointed with my attempts using earlier Nikon coolscan models. Their
focus
system did not work correctly with the Kodachrome emulsion and the color
compensation it always chose was very far off.

Has anyone tried the Minolta DIMAGE scan Elite II  and also the Polaroid
Sprintscan 4000 plus (latest s/w rev) with Kodachrome slides?  Which might
be
better in your opinions and do they focus correctly on Kodachrome?
