RE: filmscanners: Link to Nikon 8000 banding example...

[Frank Nichols]

What I didn't understand from the linked images is that under magnification
it appeared that there was some sharpening halos around some objects, while
the image overall looked a bit soft?

(Also, if that is banding, then that appears to be the same problem I am
working on with our Scanwits - I agreed, different price points and I would
expect the Scanwit to do it and not the Nikon.)

Another point, the bands appear to be from single CCD cells, but are then
blurred over a couple pixels - anybody else think this is the case? If so,
was this a multi-scan? Is the scanner software averaging/interpolating?

Does Vuescan support this scanner? If so, I would be very interested in a
sample scanned using it.
