I took shipment on an LS-8000 today.  As you say Anthony, Nikonscan 3.1.2
returns an excellent result at default settings, and curves etc are very
responsive and useful.  8 bit workflow here I come.  The scanner mechanism
makes reassuring sounds in operation, and seems very solid.  I tested a
recent E-6 chrome, a recent color neg, and an ancient, terribly faded and
surface damaged E-6 chrome with ICE and ROC.  The scans from the new film
were near perfect with much less effort than I'm accustomed to, and the
restoration of the old chrome was, yes, amazing.  I'm impressed.

Even the early versions I used always produced excellent scans.  The current
version with an LS-8000ED produces scans that are _almost_ perfect, and
require virtually no preparation at all ... and it does that without any
special tweaking of the parameters (I'm pretty much using the defaults at
the moment).
