I don't know where these guys get the idea that everyone that uses a pro-sumer
(Minolta Elite, Nikon LS2000, etc.) is an amateur... I see a lot of pros buying
these to scan work to give clients... I've tried PhotoCD Master and Pro..
that's why I am scanning my own 35mm... To say that we don't need or can't use
ICE and any other time saver we can get is flat wrong.... I never did a get a
straight answer from Jack at ASF on why we can't buy GEM and ROC and upgrade
ICE... There is a BIG market out there for a good quality, reasonably priced
scanner that will meet pro needs.. I can't afford to buy an Imacon, or Scitex
or anything else that sets me back multiple thousands...
