Not ringing but other odd things with a Canon 2710S. My neighbour scanned
the same holes that I had with the Nikon Coolscan IV, and the results were
quite interesting. With his permission I've put the sscans into my web
area. He tells that this is the first time he has seen anything like this

The image shows the upper right corner of the holed slide. The Nikon scan
of the same area is at

These are both from the upper right corner of the slide

To me the Nikon ghosts look similar to the Canon ones, expect that they
are slighly weaker and that all the colors are pretty much on top of one
another yielding a greyer image. Note that they behave in a similar
coma-like manner!
