Heliopan now offers their filters in 28mm
and 37mm sizes for the Nikon Coolpix line of digital cameras. They
are fully coated Schott (Zeiss) glass. The filters are supplied in
Heliopan's stacking storage case. Heliopan's polarizing filters are
convenient for cameras where through-the-lens viewing is not
possible due to their calibrated rims which aid in setting the
polarizer. Heliopan also offers step-up rings and a lens hood,
convertible from normal to wide angles and is front threaded for
the easy attachment of filters and caps. Additional filter types
are available in both the 28mm and 37mm sizes by special

New Scanners From HP
Hewlett-Packard Company has unveiled an exclusive innovation in scanning technology. Three scanners - the HP Scanjet 7400C, 7450C and 7490C - incorporate this technology for the benefit of busy office professionals. These HP scanners have one 2400-dpi staggered pixel sensor, for high optical resolution, along with one 600-dpi linear pixel sensor, for high speed when scanning at lower resolutions. The scanner chooses the appropriate sensor for the given scan. For scans that do not require high resolution, the high-speed 600-dpi sensor is used, delivering a four-second preview scan. For scans requiring more exact resolution, such as scanning negatives, the 2400-dpi sensor is used.
Combined with the innovative technology, are 48-bit color depth, legal-size platens, PC and Macintosh compatibility, powerful software, and one-touch scanning. The scanners also come with a lighted transparency adapter for scanning 35mm slides, negatives and transparencies up to 5x5 inches. The HP 7450C and 7490C scanners come with a 50-page automatic document feeder.
