It's not completely opaque, so dICE actually works somewhat, just not as
well as on other film. (I've got an LS-2000.) But the other problem is that
the narrowband LEDs see the colors of Kodachrome differently from the eye.
You can correct for it with an appropriate profile, but it's a strong
correction which degrades the S/N somewhat.
