RE: filmscanners: New film scanner - buying suggestions?

["Alex Z" <alexz@zoran.co.il>]

SS4000 doesn't offer any hardware-related "ICE" feature what is probably his
major difference from CoolScans, FS4000US or Elite/Elite II.

BTW, I searched the net for Minolta Elite II reviews/opinions, nothing has
been found
so far...

Just to clarify:

The only 35mm Minolta with IR channel is the Elite (and I suppose the
new Elite II).

I'm pretty sure the Polaroids do not have an IR channel, they certainly
don't use it for scratch repair, if there is one.
