Re: A Little Test

Thanks for the correction.  It probably would make the scanner too large 
as a medium format scanner to move that way.  The 35mm Nikons starting 
with, I believe, the LS2000/LS30 models, have the optical "bench" move 
similar to a flatbed.  Assuming your information is accurate, then this 
is a diversion from those and Nikon has returned to the method they used 
previous to the LS-2000/LS-30, which is more conventional with most 
filmscanners.

Are there other errors in my description you'd like to point out?

Perhaps you might also like to take on responsibility for answering 
questions about these scanners from now on, so I don't waste any more of 
my time explaining them, since you own and like yours so much. :-)

I can then just post an occasional reminder for the sake of new 
subscribers, to watch out for assorted problems with them, if or until 
Nikon get around to actually fixing them. ;-)
