Its built-in 6-by-9-inch transparency unit accommodates film as large as 4 by 5 inches or up to twenty-four 35mm negative images simultaneously. And, its superior 4,800 x 9,600 dpi resolution and stunning 3.8 Dmax deliver intricate detail for phenomenal reprints and enlargements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend!, April 13, 2004
I shoot black & white 35 mm. Previously relied upon either a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 or drum scans. The 4870 produces gorgeous scans and is easy to use. I'm very happy with my purchase. SilverFast has proved to be a dissapointment for use with B&W negs. I would probably have purchased the regular 4870 vs. Pro version if I had it to do over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfull, September 6, 2005
Yes, it's really wonderfull for restoring very old B/W negative films. I am using it with negative films that are 60 or 70 years old and the result is incredible

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Buy It; You'll Love It!, July 29, 2005
I finally have my perfect duo for scanning and editing. I am a "peripheral junkie" and have found a dream come true in this scanner. Yes, you will pay more but you will not be disappointed. I buy scanners at least yearly, but I won't do this in 2005 because I have found a wonderful product.
Scanning is super fast. Digital Ice really does make a difference. The organization of your scans is intuitive and easy. You can scan and make edits prior to the scan. I prefer to make my edits in Photoshop Elements #3.
When I have used the Digital Ice work flow, I have made significant edits on very old photos from my ancestors' 3rd World cameras with fabulous results.
"Digital Ice" is a significant component of this program which makes it worth the price. I haven't researched it recently, but this was the only scanner in December that bundled this component.
