Hi. I posted a query in regard of LS-40 (IV ED) performance for the scanner users, however nobody answered yet. (I even though no LS-40 users on the List yet) Would appreciate if you will give your opinion about this scanner. I mainly care about his true dynamic range for the ability to pull out dark details (I shoot a lot of night scenic) against his noise level and the Nikon's known AF (insufficient DOF) problem from which 4000ED (and apparently LS-40) are reported to suffer from. Did you experienced DOF problem with either mounted/unmounted slides and negative strips ? Does the LS-40 allows multi-pass or multi-sampling ?

Bear in mind that dark bits on Velvia are considered the evil of the filmscanning world - so dark that lots of scanners simply can't see properly! Multi-pass scanning with Vuescan in combination with the "Long exposure" pass, with my Nikon LS40, didn't improve the scanner's ability to see into the black. Velvia is definitely just a little too much for the LS40... (As is Kodachrome.)
