You might be interested in the measurements I made on my Nikon IV ED with
the Stouffer B&W target. Different curves are obtained with different
media settings in NikonScan and Vuescan. 0 is the lowest density step on
the Stouffer which I estimate to be about 0.15 OD. The LS4000 should have
better results.
