They sold that batch out and now have them at $1000 CAD. I ordered the last of the $730 ones at the same time a friend did. My order got filled, his didn't. Since he didn't already have a scanner, I let him have the one I ordered. Polaroid has replaced the Sprintscan 4000 with the 4000 Plus. I haven't looked at the specs closely to see the differences. The obvious one is a Dmax of 4.2 on single pass scans. It is up from about 3.6. B&H has the 4000 Plus in stock. Regards, Robert At 01:44 PM 3/13/2002 -0500, B. D.
