As a matter of fact, the entire Nikon Coolscan line has
fixed-intensity LEDs, as one can conclude from reading the programming
specs (which aren't public).

-----------------

I use an 8000, which works very well for me both in terms of sharpness and
exposure.  I frequently use the variable exposure in B&W neg scanning.  I
certainly makes a difference in where I can make the highlights or shadows
fall at the extremes, especially on films with a long straight-line and not
much shoulder, which have been developed commercially (I.e. overdeveloped by
Zone system standards)

 How is the exposure variation done in software?
