Mark's scathing assessment aside, I love both my LS-4000 and LS-8000. The
LS-4000, especially with the roll feed attachment, makes scanning a full
roll of film so easy that you may sell your M8 (or whatever digital gear you
may have) :-) The LS-8000 is much larger, and much nosier. It sounds like a
small jackhammer humming.

I would imagine that the experience with LS-5000 and LS-9000 would be
similar, just mo' better results, I guess. For the record, the largest print
I ever made is a 24" x 64" panoramic, scanned using the LS-8000 and it looks
quite nice even when you stick your nose at it.
