Thomas,

Good point.  I have an older version of Vuescan, but I've been using
NikonScan because it seems to do a better job with dust and scratch removal.
I also love the full roll preview window.  It saves time for rotating.  But
saving time is of no use if it uses more time due to crashes.  My timing
tests indicate Vuescan is also faster.  I'll update my version and give it a
try.  Thanks for the advice.

Bob,

I have the SA-30 as well and I have my roll scans done without a
problem using Vuescan! Get it, especially the color rendition is
almost always right on the spot, NikonScan handles fine only a
small number of cases.

A bit hassle is the adjustement of the film offset for the 1st frame,
but once set, the Vuescan autocrop makes a wonderful job in contrast
to the permanent failure of NikonScan to position the frames exact
the same position.
