I looked at the Imacons as well but was pretty under whelmed by the
price/performance ratio.  The software did have a pretty good Colorsync
implementation though.  I did find there were focus issues with that
machine as well.  It's hard to avoid unless film is sandwiched in a
glass carrier or between a drum and clear sheet.  That's really the only
way to get consistent results, day in and day out.
