And it's not necessarily a smooth domed curve from one edge to the other--some slides have ripples down one edge. (Although a simple curve of sufficient magnitude would be an adequate DOF test.)
I've remounted slides in anti-Newton glass mounts, and got somewhat better focus, but noticeable grain from the glass. However, there are two problems with remounting. First, it's extremely time-consuming. Second, some of the slides have ripples in them that even glass sandwiches won't take out. I really think that increased DOF is the only way I'll ever get decent files out of these. <<<<<<<<<< I wonder if this is your answer: http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~longnose/scanner_test.html It looks to be a bit softer than a 2700 dpi scan, but quite a bit better than the 2450 or 3200, both of which have great DOF...
