Julian,

I recommend that you check out George DeWolfe's article on the 1680 
in the April/May issue of Camera Arts magazine. He did side-by-side 
comparisons of the 1680 scans to drum scans of 35mm transparencies. 
Very informative. Especially about the oil mounting.

Also go back to message #51 on the list and there thread on this 
topic that I think will be of interest.

Also keep me posted on how it goes. I originally bought a Linoscan 
1400 to scan 4X5 but the software is really awful and I am thinking 
of switching over to the 1680 which offers a 33% increase in 
resolution.
