The images are outstanding, especially the ones of Kyle. I have used the Epson 4990 since it was introduced, and it is far better than I would have thought. I have used it for scans of 4x5 and 8x10 films, and some 120. For 35mm prints I use a Nikon film scanner. I'm sure glad digital came along. A Nikon scan takes about 15 minutes or more and produces a 120mb file, the same size file that my Canon SLR produces in a microsecond.
