It's been a while since the site has received
my attention. I just finished adding the following:

* Excellent LS-9000 scans by Max Perl
(35 mm, Nikon, Gigabitfilm and Velvia)

* Artixscan 4000 scan by Martin Wedelsbäck
(35 mm, Leica, Ilford Pan-F)

* Epson 4990 scans by yours truly
-- Epson 4990 vs. Nikon LS-8000
-- Epson 4990 vs. Leafscan 45
-- Epson 4990 vs. Microtek 2500
(MF and LF, ISO 100-160 color negative film)

Enjoy.

Thank you, Scott. Silly me. A rather critical oversight.

Good stuff. Valuable. Thanks.

Most interesting (to me) was that Nikon (8000?) was obviously MUCH
better than Leaf Scan...I wonder which model of Leaf that was? Vintage?

Aren't all LeafScan models "vintage" at this point? ;-)

Since the film is from a 645, the scan was most likely done using a
LeafScan 45, as that model accommodates MF. The results shouldn't be all
that surprising, though, as the resolution of the LeafScan is considerably
lower than the Nikon 8000 for MF film.

It was a Leafscan 45, indeed.

On 35 mm, for the most part, the Leaf beats the Nikon,
(at 5000 dpi) but it is horrifically slow. Austin and I went
out for pizza while the scan was being done. There was
some mechanical issue that caused one corner of the frame
to be out of focus, but that doesn't show on the scan-
samples site.

At 2500 dpi, the Leaf still beats the Epson 4990 easily.
