[filmscanners] Re: Minolta Dimage Scan Elite - any users here?

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

I use a SS4000 fro scanning slides and film, and it has no ICE.  I have
very little spotting to do.  The lighting type to a great extent
determines the need to spot surface defects.  My Minolta Dual II
exaggerates surface defects and I have to do more spotting, particularly
with negs. I don't know how the Minolta Elite is in this matter, the
Minolta Elite II has been a problem without using ICE.
