Hmm... My Nikon LS-4000 doesn't seem to have problems with CoolScan. 
With VueScan, I can set up multiple scans from a single negative, 
which really helps in shadow/highlight detail, especially when I 
output in 16-bit and use Photoshop CS's new shadow/highlight to bring 
them out.

p.s. I develop in everything: D76 1+1; Diafine; Ultrafin; and HC-110.
