Digital BW, The Print

Hopefully I do this right.. Ok the LS 5000 is the latest version of the scanner ..the previous version which looked pretty much the same was called the LS-50 ED.. It was a 14 bit scanner not 16 bit like the LS version.. I actually had the previous version long ago but can't remember that much about it.. it's been too long.. It was notably slower I remember that.. Oh with the LS using supplied software you can scan to raw which you can't do as I recall with the previous version. I will say that while I'm not a fan of either for serious scanning the LS version is probably the best of that type technology going.

  Jimbo,

  What is the difference between the LS-5000 and the more commonly available
  5000 ED scanner.
