Dear friends:
I have a LS 2000 from 1999. I use it on windows 98 OS. I suffered
continuous focus problems when scanning at maximum resolution that makes
me not to use it as i need. Also I suffered the break of the engine in
the first year of use and payd to spanish nikon tech service near 260
euros for reparation, handwork and expenses of shipment. I knew months
after that it was a common problem in this scanner that cost in that
time near 1500 euros.
Since last month appears a different problem: the hight lights seems to
flood to dark areas, as if the slide have had a "flou"/"blur" filter
when the picture eas taken. I send a corner of a calibration slide that
you can see in
You can see there how the white light invades the black plastic frame of
the slide; seems as if the light reflects somewhere. In other slide, a
marble roman venus head, can be seen the reflection of the light in the
black background (note that this reflex doesn´t appears in the original
slide). Both images have versions in tiff and jpg.
Yesterday I downloaded Nikon 3.1.2 software and seems that the focus
problems is minor than before, but still continues the blur problem.
I should agree information about how to resolve it. Is very hard go to a
shop to make a precision scan of the slides when a "super" LS2000 is
near you, in the work table.
Thank you for your attention.
