That I don't know. I'd guess it's different, because I can't imagine
how the "IR Prescan" technique could work with reflective media.

I've been very happy with mine, with two exceptions. First, specific
to the FS4000, it's pretty slow. A full resolution scan of a 35mm
frame, with FARE enabled, takes ten minutes or so. Second, all 4000
dpi scanners tend to get a lot of chroma noise due to grain aliasing.
But, for half the prices of the Nikon (when I bought it) I've been very
happy with mine.
