What Scanners are you using for LF?

I have a Nikon LS4500AF film scanner that does very well. Lots of
choices for the scanning. I do some scans for a studio here. They like
the most detail so the scans are typically 200MB or larger.

Hey, I'm a CPU and RAM nutcase and even I would find 200mb daunting. So tell
us how you manage it?

I take it back. 200mb isn't too large to handle. I need another coff of
cuppie. Sheesh.

look at their prints and will never sell the 4500.

The 4500 is SCSI interface. Scans take about 20 minutes but I can do
other things while it is scanning. The 4X5 carrier is glass. Plain or
AN.

How did you get a 200MB file? Isn't that scanner 1000 dpi at 4x5 (3000
dpi for smaller format)? That would be something less than 120 MB.

I will try to get one out this week. I am loaded with work this week.
(I thought retirement was leisurely)

The studio I do the work for insists on privacy so I give them a CD and
erase the files. They pay well. I wil try to find some of my work.

Several things about the 4500. It has extensive electronics in it, so
most if not all the processing takes place in the scanner. The PC is
just a monitor. I have 512Meg memory so that is not problem. I am going
to 1GC when I find time to do it. Also I have 3 PCs up so I can leave
the scanning going and do other things while it lolls the day away.
They are networked. And I am bringing up still another computer just
for scanning and graphics.
FWIW Last year I think it was I scanned some 6X7 negs. The files were
64MB each as I remember. The graphic artist what handled the design of
the output did complain about the long down load times. He likes jpeg.
I think it stinks if you have way more. I sent them out for printing. I
needed 1000 copies. I get lots of good compliments so I must be doing
something right.
And again FWIW I just bought a Canon 20D. Gad what a lot of learning.
Thanks to Canon there is a download of the manual so I can read it
easily. The manual that came with the camera was in miniature.

Take care

There are two of them on Ebay this evening. Sorry to say no carriers.
Not sure they are available from Nikon.
