Tina:

I am using the Nikon Super Coolscan LS-2000 for a couple of weeks now. 
The ICE feature is fantastic: it will help you in getting rid of most of 
the scratches, dust and so on, at the expense of a very little softening 
of the image.
This scanner is a must for seriously scanning quality slides. The results 
are spectacular. As a matter of fact, I plan to completely overhaul the 
images on my web page with this scanner.
Haven't tried Kodachrome yet, because I don't use this film. My work is 
standardized on Fuji slide film (mostly Velvia and Provia).

Who else than Leica could make a camera like the R8 ?
With that unique design and above all: that ergonomics.
Nikon ? Canon ? Nobody but Leica !
