ICE was an important factor for me. The new Minolta Scan Multi Pro was not
shipping at the time. Others have claimed to *not* experience the banding
problem with the LS8000.
Looking back, it was a risk that doesn't seem to be working out very well at
this point. I have to admit though that I have *not* experienced any
banding so far. I have had an old mounted slide be killer out of focus due
to shallow d.o.f.. The main problem is slow speed and horrible color. I
suspect, however, that the color problem is a simple matter of figuring out
color spaces between NikonScan and Photoshop. If I could solve that, speed
would be the only problem. I've got 1.5 gigs of RAM on a G4. If there's a
way to effectively allocate more RAM to NikonScan (used as a plugin)...I'd
be happy as a clam. ;-)
