[filmscanners] Re: Nikon LS-40 vs Polaroid SS4000

["" <HMSDOC@aol.com>]

<< After problems with 2 separate Minolta Elite IIs (which I won't bother
 repeating in this post), I'm contemplating jumping ship and going for
 either for a Nikon LS-40 or a Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 (some dealers
 here in the UK are still advertising it).  In my price range, these seem to
 be the best 2 scanners.  (The Canon FS4000 appears to have poor
 shadow performance and I've had enough of this with the Elite II.) >>

Is this generally felt to be the case with the FS4000?  I have one and am
happy with it, but am relatively new at scanning so maybe I just don't know
what I am missing.  However, it does seem to me that I have read several
reviews saying that the shadow detail was actually quite good.  I can however
fully agree that FilmGet is pretty lousy...I use VueScan.  So I would
appreciate any  comments from those in the know about theFS4000.
