It's SCSI and this happens even without computer: the lamp go red instead of green. While I agree about importance of good cables. Any cables :)
Good luck

Hi Pascal! I have exactly the same situation (for nealy ten years :) I too talked MS then and the price was too seller market. Now I plan to check all capacitors on the board.
Good luck 2U and...
It was interesting, but... how did it finish?
I put a 1.7x magnifying loupe on a LCD while focusing. Some can connect external monitor and it can be even better.
For what I like high-end scanners: calculated resolution is their optical...
My resolution tests are not too impressive, because the resolution of the camera is only 16Mp and lenses outresolve it. Shall I buy 24Mp crop camera to gain more resolution? Let's see. I took two x2...
If you compare lamp spectrum in Scitex Smart scanners and later Eversmarts you can see that they added yellows and surf greens. That was done for a reason.
It depends... CCD is cooled and condensate. On mine it was very dirty. From experience cleaning CCD on Eversmarts makes the most difference.
And this pic demonstrate what I don't like in...
Rodenstock Scitex LFOV 108mm f5.6. Center and corner 100% crop. Excellent.
Just to keep the "reference" here: Epson Perfection V800 Photo taken from http://www.filmscanner.info/en/EpsonPerfectionV800Photo.html
Those guys do not bother to test corner performance. Anyway...
Those scanners were shipped with the glasses in place and sheet of thick paper between them. All over the world BTW. Make sure that the upper part will not open while transporting.
And for future:...
The word "pulled" made me to remember What Was It to remove the cold welded lense from the scanner going to landfill. After some hours this Rodenstock Magnagon lens was saved.
The scale is different for this take. It's 1:1. Sharpness is limited with a pixel size for that lens. It outresolves my humble 16Mp Sony aps-c , so going Sony 24Mp aps-c will improve things further....
Scitex Smarts were made when there were no usable PhSh and nobody planned to make stitches. The main media for images was 120 film and larger (books, magazines). So we have the best performing lens...
Finally: Rodenstock Scitex S-3 f5.0, 110mm. Center and corner 100% crop. I expected it to be better.
And if you go stitching 1x with Magnagon, you will get something like that (camera jpg, flip-crop-save only). Center and corner 100% crop.
Thanks! I will post 1x Magnagon tests in Lenses thread. Both are great lenses for sure.
I would not call 5 years as many, but it's me. I've seen those tests. I agree: they do not say much about the difference.
While using ptGui do you examine medium-maximum pixel shift? Still have...
It's like a brain cells - they are tiny and fuzzy. But... OK.
We will continue: Rodenstock-Magnagon-75mm-f5.6. Center and corner 100% crop.
You can compare optical resolution and optical aberrations of the lenses in my setup, that is simple and common.
Can I ask you when you will time to scan the resolution target with your lenses. At the moment I do not understand big thing: if the lenses outperform the sensor why is the difference there?
Rodenstock Scitex S-3 4.9/67. Center and corner 100% crop.
We have a very good lens in this setup: Rodenstock-Scitex S-3 89mm-f5.0. Apo without doubt. Center and corner 100% crop. BTW the CCD length in those scanners is 35mm/5000 pixels. It covers...
Some tests of those lenses. Optical magnification 1:1.5 (36x24mm to 24x16mm 16Mp Sony Nex).
Let's start: Rodenstock Rodagon f5.6, 80mm. Does not look very APO, but sharp and with a good contrast....
Up!
Rodenstock lenses used in Scitex Smart 340, Smart 342, Smart 340L, Smart 342L scanners:
Rogonar-S 5.6/60 for scanning A3, A4, 8x10". Optical magnification 0.111.
Scitex S-3 4.9/67 for...
My point is that I say it's OK, when you asked "The used slides with VAT and shipping will cost me about $180. So everything together is going to cost me $300. I would say it's pretty good, no?"

Rodagon or Magnagon? Magnagon is just great. Perfect for the task. They say that it's Rodagon-D, but I'm not sure.
My inderstanding (limited) of PTgui is that it can use lens profile, if it has...
Thank you, Peter!
Sure. :-) I've just found a better term for that: warping. It happened that I hate warped images. And stitching often produces a lot of warping. Looks like it is not an easy task...
I mean... You must have the slide for adjustments and calibration in that scanner. Though you can scan for years if everything is OK without it.
The first thing is to clean the optics in the...
The way the universe works is admirable. Ask a question and wait some time. :-)
I'm always out of phase. The hardest thing was to inspect what was copied: those 7.6 lines are so tiny.
We...
And I finally did it some years ago. I used imagesetter film and managed to contact copy all the fields (up to 7.6).
If you compared "two consecutive scans" that's you compared repeatability. It's often very high and it's another animal. But faith is a good thing to have.
PS. I have restored the images from...
It's OK. Must have for adjustments and calibration in that scanner.
What are you talking about? :-)
Hi Peter! Any words about geometry and microgeometry? Do you use any profile for that? Have you checked those BTW? What kind of adjustments do you use when you put the camera in place?
That must...
Good point. Any ideas what makes that clarity and purity? I feel my eyes relaxed when I open Tango scans. Why is that? On a PC monitor...
Hi Christian
I have a feeling that Topaz 2 always interpolate (tried in Newcolor and Linocolor). Never was able to get real resolution higher than 3600 dpi though it is written 5080 dpi in...
What I personally hate about Imacons is their distortion. Changing belts do not help a lot. Have a look here:

Hi Evan,
Dual processor 500 MHz or single 733 MHz are also OK.
