....after digging through countless posts, opinions, comparisons, etc.;
after reading the very interesting Scanner Bakeoff by Jim Hutchinson;
after hours of Franklin +/- charts...
I need some more opinions from experienced owners.
I have to side my Polaroid SS120 with a better quality scanner for
35mm. I shoot mostly BW neg film (TMax 100) and slides (Sensia-II 100,
Provia 400F, Astia100F pushed 1 stop, Velvia100F).
I highly value resolution power (my SS120 is lacking in the
department) and ability to read as much clean shadow details as
possible (my SS120 rulez the world in the department).
Good Vuescan support is a plus.
I don't care about speed, batch scans, APS, bulk, and so on.
My candidates are the Minolta SE 5400, and the Nikon Coolscan LS-50.
Where I live, there's no much price difference between the two (about
15%).
I cound not find any good comparison between those two scanners; I
have to say, that film scanners don't seem to draw much attention
nowadays... <:-}
So, any kind soul feels like giving his opinion/reporting his
experiences?
Many thanks,
Fernando
