Re: [Digital BW] Scanner comparison between Polaroid and canon...

2002-04-06 by Bill Morse

Hi Jerry-
My condolences...

How much are these scanners?

I think you know where I'm going with this- to get the detail in the deepest
shadow, you really need a drum scanner.  I've seen Howtek 4000's on Ebay in
the 3-4K range.

How many scans will you be making that have these deep shadows w/ detail?
Maybe the most difficult could be sent out for drum scans?

My scanner is dying, and I was wondering which you guys like best, the
Polaroid Plus, or the new 4000 DPI Canon scanner. Both are about the
same price. I need maximum dynamic range, to get all the detail in the
deep shadows.

Thanks!

Jerry
