Hi all, am new to the filmscanner world, so please bear with the newbie questions. I'm considering either the Acer Scanwit 2720s or the 2740s. My perception after reading the specs, is that the 2740s is 2720s+ICE. Did I miss anything? Would like opinions/experiences of whether the ICE was wor

FWIW here is the response from Nikon USA support to the question "Will Nikonscan 3.0 work with the LS2000 on Win 98 original (not SE)?" They may not know much, but are at least candid about it. - Dear Julian Robinson: While Nikon Scan 3.X will someday work with
