It is still the only film scanner on the market that due to a special version of Digital ICE<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_ICE>is able to scan Kodachrome <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodachrome> film reliably dust and scratch free. LaserSoft Imaging<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserSoft_Imaging>'s scan software SilverFast <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SilverFast> features a similar technique (iSRD) since end of 2008, that allows every Nikon film scanner to remove dust and scratches from Kodachrome scans.
