Congratulations!  You should be pretty happy with it, it's one of the best
CCD scanners out there.

Not to poo poo it in any way, as it is an exceptional scanner, but I've
never really thought of it in any way like a drum scanner though...as the
technology is completely different.  That "line" is more advertising than
reality...  When they say that, they are referring to the curved film
mounting only, as far as I know.  Does anyone here have any first hand
experience with whether the Imacon curved film mounting actually helps, and
if so, with what formats?  I assume it does 4x5?

Do you have to mount each frame individually, as in cut each frame out of a
strip?

Regards, and Happy New Year!

Austin
