I still prefer the scanner for other films but for grainy, contrasty films that you can't use Digital ICE with, the slide duplicator seems to do a better job. I know you can't really tell anything from a web-sized photo (at least I can't!) but here are the comparisons for one photo: Scanner: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/88718456 Duplicator: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/88746181 I can tell a big difference in the full-sized tiffs. They are both sharper and less contrasty - which is something I haven't been able to achieve with the scanned slides. Can you see any difference at all in the web jpegs?
