What drum scans need is a lot of post-production for cleaning-up the images.

It's not just dust but any number of problems with air bubbles and the
optical clarity of the top sleeve used to hold the whole tranny / neg
sandwich together.

In fact how many different surfaces are there when using a drum scanner?

Bear in mind that each layer has a different optical density - it's a
miracle, really.

For a fact, most hi-end drum scanning services spend up to 15 minutes
'retouching' your image before you even see it...
