Re: Nikon IV or Cannon FS4000

[Jerry Olson <jerryolson@xxxxxxx>]

Out of curiosity Neal, why do you send your 8x10 prints out? You can get
damn fine prints 11x16 or so from the canon 2710FS filmscanner. I do it
all the time. But I DO want a sharper model, with a higher density
range. the polaroid just wasn't it.
