Just possibly because you don't have room for a traditional darkroom.

RE: Digital Ice + Kodak TMZ
It is written in many places, not least the manuals and all over the internet, that ICE, ROC and GEM only work with E-6 slides or C-41 negatives. NOT silver BW negs OR Kodachrome. Sorry, but its apperently just the physics of the way they do this. -Original Message- From: Mishka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 August 2002 23:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: Digital Ice + Kodak TMZ Hi everyone, I have just tried to scan a BW (TMax 3200) film, and it seems that leaving the digital ICE (this is Nikon 4000ED scanner) turns the scans to literally, black and white (and almost no any intermediate greys)!

RE: Digital Ice + Kodak TMZ
The $64,000 question is, why would you want to scan black and white film in the first place? William Robb Perhaps he wants to submit a BW image to the PUG ? Maybe he wants to share a BW image with friends/family via email ? Digital ICE and ROC and GEM all do not handle BW Silver Halide - only C-41 semi-BW (i.e. XP2, Portra 400BW, T400CN etc.) - it's not unique to Nikon either - I have a Minolta Scan Elite II and it is the same - as Rob Studdert in Australia said - get a good antistatic film cloth or a blower or compressed air or all 3 and clean before scanning.

It would seem there are limits to what Nikon can acomplish. Fair enough, I haven't bothered to look that up in the manual. Makes sense. In any event, now that I am half way through the roll, it seems that the grain (I rated it 1600) is large enough to make any imperfections obvious on Provia 100F slides mostly irrelevant. The $64,000 question is, why would you want to scan black and white film in the first place? Because I don't have an enlarger (or a place to set one up in my apartment). Do I get the money?
