Scanner comparison: four scanners added

[Leigh Perry]

Two scanners from Canada and two from Australia have been added to the
scanner comparison page. They are (in alphabetical order):
<ul>
<li>Crosfield 636
<li>Fuji Lanovia C550
<li>Epson Perfection 4870 Photo
<li>UMAX Powerlook III
</ul>

As the comparison is based on 2400ppi, the UMAX Powerlook III had to be ressed up from 1200ppi
to 2400ppi. Given the extent of the interpolation, it performed well. The Crosfield (drum scanner) and Fuji (flatbed) scans were both oil mounted.

This week, the slide will see the Epson 4990 before heading off to the Europe for Eversmart Supreme,
Howtek 7500, ICG 380, Crosfield Celsis, etc. A small queue has since formed in the USA so the transparency will
then be heading back there.

This is been an interesting comparison, and I hope more scanners are added. I noticed two Imacon entries. How do these compare with the Imacon Flextight?

Definitely. Thanks to all of those involved. I would also love to see the 9950 and 1800F scanners included at some point.
