The artixscan 4000 tf has the same light source as the Polaroid 4000 and 4000 plus units. I am not sure about the others

Minolta Dimage Elite 5400 Mk II) compared with cold cathode flourescent light sources (eg., Elite Mk I, and Sprinstcan/artixscan 4000), when it comes to color fidelity. I've been using a Spintscan 4000 until recently, which I've found to have v good color fidelity (for slides anyway), but I'm thinking of getting a more current alternative (eg. either of the Elites, or the artixscan 4000tf). I've had experience with the Nikon Coolscan V ED, with an RGB LED light source, but this generally gives me raw scan colors that are too saturated and which also err on the side of cyan, with a more noticeable blue halo on image-object edges (more prominent than the sprintscan anyway). Any clues or advice appreciated Maurice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body -- This transmission is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain information that is proprietary, confidential and/or legally privileged.
