[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Hoppy, Yours, is a really good advice and solution. I scan only for post on-line, I'm not convinced with the quality I've swa up to the moment with inkjet printers for B&W, even so and after the comments on the LUG from Walt and others, I'm interested to investigate again. If you take three Leica Scanners I hope you send one to me! Salud!

Believe me though, I have both a modern Epson flatbed (4990) and the Nikon Coolscan V that folks recommended for you. The output from the Nikon is very much superior (and faster). Of course for casual scanning for low resolution pictures to post on-line the Epson may well do everything you need. Absolutely nothing wrong with the pictures that you show us here! The flatbeds also do some things that the 35mm film scanner will not, such as larger negs and of course anything from a print or text page. Mine is used constantly for photocopying, faxing, schoolwork etc etc. If you are relying on a scanner to produce files for printed enlargements, then clearly you want the best that you can get. Otherwise like using a cheap plastic lens in your slide projector to project slides from your 90AA. If Leica made a film scanner I'd have three of them ;-) Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Luis Ripoll Sent: Sunday, 13 May 2007 07:58 To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] Scanning HELP Thanks to Hoppy, Len, Philippe (Amard), Walt, Jayanand, Steve (Unsworth), and Tom Fenwick who has gived me the idea to look at the Previous Mode, and marking on the Arrow to NORMAL, you can select a negative to scan. With this solution I have no intention to use Vuescan or Silverfast, neither to buy a Nikon Coolscanner V, why?, I'm very happy with the results on my Epson flatbead and I'm not sure that results will be improved, I obtain a scale of B&W tones very pleasant for me. The only reason to go to a such film scanner could be to scann slides, with the Epson I'm not very happy, but as you know I do very few color slides. Thanks again to all for your kind advices and help!!! Saludos cordiales Luis _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
