Another scanner from Australia have been added to the scanner comparison. It's the Epson 4990.

A friend of mine just bought one and kindly dragged it over for a scan before the transparency resumes its global holiday. The scan was done using the Epson Twain driver, with all image adjustments turned off.

For anyone wondering about scanners still to come, I have on my list:
<ul>
<li>Canon 9950f
<li>Crosfield Celsis 6250 CASC
<li>Durst Sigma Plus
<li>Epson Expression 1680Pro
<li>Epson 3200 with Silverfast
<li>Epson 4870 (alternative scanning technique)
<li>Eversmart Supreme
<li>Howtek 7500
<li>HP Scanjet 4C
<li>ICG 350i
<li>ICG 380
<li>Linotype-Hell Topaz
<li>Microtek ArtixScan 1800f
<li>SCREEN DT-S 1045AI
<li>Scanview 11000
</ul>

Other scanners welcome.
