Thanks for posting those.  I have an Epson 1200 scanner, and I can 
see that the 1640 does a much better job of producing clear scans 
from transparencies.  I don't think the 1200 focuses perfectly, and 
the optical resolution of 1200dpi doesn't seem sufficient to produce 
sharp prints from 35mm negatives.  B&H sells the Kodak RFS-3600, 
($1149) which is a 35mm film scanner with a 3600 dpi optical 
resolution and a 3.6 dynamic range.  Based on those specs the RFS-
3600 should be able to match the output of Kodak "Photo CD" scanners, 
but unlike the Epson 1640 I can't see any way to use it to scan MF 
slides or View-Master reels.  Jim Harp
