I've had the Polaroid SS 4000 for almost a year now...
Been ecstatically pleased with it..
Would suggest getting the VueScan software for an additional $40 if you are
going to be doing a lot of scans...
You can find it at :
www.hamrick.com.
It will even let you do multi-pass scanning for those dense negs and slides...
And does a much better job of color conversion than does the Insight Software
from Polaroid...
It also has profiles for a host of emulsions that Polaroid's software does
not...
The Polaroid software is ok for general use, but for serious scanning, the
VueScan software is worth the $40..
