If you do your own development, the negs should be more than clean enough to scan without ICE. Remember that ICE lowers resolution a little when you turn it on, and it slows scans considerably, so don't use it if you don't actually need it. (It's sure handy when you _do_ need it, though!) - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Hickel" <smhickel@iserv.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2001 13:53 Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: B&W Scanning > Does the digital ice work if a b&W neg is scanned in with the color settings > on? > > Steve > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Eric" <ericm@pobox.com> > To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2001 9:17 PM > Subject: [Leica] Re: B&W Scanning > > > > Peter: > > > > >The new Nikon 4000 dpi scanner is way beyond my price limit right now. > > >I've been debating between picking up a used LS-2000, maybe a Poloroid > > >Sprintscan 4000. > > > > I'm leaning strongly toward the Sprintscan 4000.
