From: JWSM on 24 Feb 2006 02:46 It won't win on looks... I wish Epson would expand scanning area to Foolscap length (only need a bit more plastic, glass, and scan track extended an inch or two). Hope it has a decent hinge for the lid. Optical density is no different to 4990. But what I would like to know... has its scanning capability improved for 35mm negs and slides. Wet scanning is great for photos affected by sulfiding (mirroring), but some what scary too (emulsions and bases vary so much). J

As an owner of a just broken KM 5400-II I can value the latter. As to speed they say 12.3msec/line. I saw the older 4990 does 17msec/line; can anybody comment about the scan speed of the 4990 in practice, say for 4000dpi? Anybody seen or tested one already? -- Hans
