[photo-3d] Re: Scanner Test

I'm looking forward to reading more about the film scanner 
comparisons.  It might also be helpful to have one of the slides 
scanned to Kodak Photo CD format - I'll volunteer to do that.  The 
first question that comes to my mind when considering the purchase of 
a film scanner is how its output compares to the Photo CD format.  
Not that Kodak Photo CD is ideal, but if I could at least match that 
at home I could justify buying a film scanner.  B&H lists some 
interesting film scanners from Nikon that will be available in a few 
months.  The Super Coolscan 4000 ($1695.00) scans 35mm film at 4000 
dpi optical with a dynamic range of 4.2.  The Super Coolscan 8000 
($2995.00)  has the same specs but also scans medium format.  I 
wonder if I could fit a ViewMaster reel in the MF holder?  Jim Harp
