Gush - this seems to be Nikons general incredible behaviour with *all*
problems - should be a reason alone not to buy their products ever again! I
observed blown out highlight with some of my b&w scansI do at work wiht the
LS-40, but this could of course be as well the negs that are over- exposed.
I will check again if there is something to do...
Maybe in VueScan it is better - I will try out next week and compare
NikonScan and VueScan in this respect.
My forthcoming MF scanner will have a Minolta or Polaroid tag on it, but
certainly not a Nikon one....
