Subject: [Leica] How not to scan TX400

James,

I had the same problem with my Nikon LS-4000 earlier this year.

The problem was not the film (also got it with Acros) but the scanner. My 
was sent off to Nikon and $250 later it was returned 'repaired' (I was past 
warranty period). Nikon did fix it, no details provided, but I suspect they 
did a cleaning and recalibration.

Regards,

Greg
