The Kodak RFS 3570 scans film formats from 37mm to 70mm The scanner works by flashing a filtered (red, green, blue) strobe through the image against a Charge Coupled Device.. The scanner provides 6 million pixels per scan, crisp images of 3072 pixels wide by 2048 pixels high in 24 bit color or 8 bit grayscale. In practice this means 2150 dpi for 35mm, 1291 dpi for 4.5x6cm and 910 dpi for 6x6 through 6x7cm. Unlike with my Nikon Coolscan II, the resulting scans show no grain-aliasing. Very smooth skies and other non textured areas and great color. Inkjet prints of 11x14 from 35mm and 10x10 from 6x6 are every bit as good as chemical prints. Weighs 16 pounds The software includes a Kodak driver plug-in for Adobe Photoshop for Macintosh and a Kodak TWAIN driver for PCs.. I was wrong in my earlier message in that I do not have the film carrier for 6x9 although the scanner supports this size. - ----------------- Anyone looking for a nice scanner for their Rollei slides and negatives? I was finally able to buy a Leafscan at a price that I could afford, so now this Kodak RFS3570 is not needed any longer. It will scan 35mm to 6x9cm and has holders for 35mm slides and negative strips, and the holders for 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7 and 6x9. Also included is the manual and both PC and Mac software. I paid $800 for it about 6 months ago and would like to get at least $600 for it now plus shipping. These units were sold new for $5,000 + up to a couple of years ago. The new RFS3570 Plus costs $7500. Some pictures that I scanned with it when I first got it: http://www.hemenway.com/Kodak_RFS3570/index.htm - -- Jim - http://www.hemenway.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
