The 3.x number is called the DMax.  This is a relative scale to show
how much shadow detail a film scanner can handle.  A top of the line drum
scanner
is about 4.0, or near perfect.  A Kodak PhotoCD is supposedly 3.7.  The Nikon 
LS1000 was 3.2 and the Polaroid SprintScan 35 Plus is 3.4.  I think I have
read the
LS2000 is 3.6 or 3.7, which is amazing for a desktop machine!
