[filmscanners] Re: Lousy results with Nikon LS-2000 & Kodak Gold200?

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic@telus.net>]

It does appear that some films don't get along with certain scanners, or
at least certain native optical resolutions of some scanners.

To the person who first brought up this thread, have you tried both with
and without dICE?  If it is particularly bad under dICE scans there
might be residual silver in the film that wasn't properly bleached or
fixed out of it.  Try a scan without dICE on, and see if the results are
different at all.
