And then Henry said: >>> My opinion about digital ice scratch removal - its nothing more than a trumped up sales feature. If your film is that bad I suggest you change labs or your darkroom habits. Dust your film with a Staticmaster brush and scan it. Its really pretty simple to spot your scan if need be. <<< But the whole convenience of ICE and the LS2000 in particular is that if you've got 50 images to scan at full res the machine does the whole job for you while you're busy mailing the LUG about lens shade numbers. These features (ICE + bulk scanning) in combination make the LS2000 the best thing on the market, IMO. 3 minutes per slide for a clean, sharp scan (30 Mb), and meanwhile I'm watching "The man who fell to earth". What could be better than that? Rob. Robert Appleby and Sue Darlow Via Bellentani 36 41100 Modena Italy Tel/fax [39] 059 303436
