RE: filmscanners: My 8000 does NOT band using Vuescan!
Title: RE: filmscanners: My 8000 does NOT band using Vuescan!
It should be pointed out that NikonScan has a workaround also. It's called Super Fine mode and tells the scanner to only use one line of the CCD, exactly the same as VueScan now does. The problem here is that this will make the scan take 3 times as long. Or at least it did with NikonScan and I don't see how VueScan would get around this one.
As Austin said, the actual problem still exists and it would be nice if Nikon would really fix the problem. I'd like to buy another LS8000 sometime.
