Re: Grain aliasing and cold cathode

[byard pidgeon <bluedove@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Art...or anyone else...are there other scanners using cold cathode? What's
the particular model of the coldlight Canon scanner, and its specs?

I remember when I went from condensors in my enlarger to coldlight...what a
tremendous difference!
Much less grain, greater tonal range, no such thing as difficult to print
negs anymore...just beautiful...so if there's a  high res coldlight scanner
that doesn't have any serious drawbacks (like incompatible with Macs) I want
it.
