RE: [APML] Advice on Epson 4870 Film Scanner

[centaurus_a@virgilio.it]

Andrew,

I'm a happy owner of the 4870. I scan negatives and slides either 35mm and
645 format. I don't have much more to say as it is absolutely excellent
for my works. (normal pictures and astrophotos too).
Unfortunately I don't have any high res ppicture to provide you, but you
can see the low res results on my page. Go to http://astrofoto.laza.it and
look for the pictures of Hyades.

Regards,
Nicola
