I think that depends on the condition of the transparency/negative. I
always clean my negs before scanning. Some require only a squirt of air and
others may require more. However, I will only use ICE if the negative is in

the unit would not hold the negatives flat. In my opinion it is an
extremely poor design. Perhaps I didn't play with it enough to

Of course Imacon is the benchmark of film scanners but I hardly think that
most photographers could consider one. They start at $10,000 with specs
that are not as good as the Nikon 8000 and go up to the $15,000 model which
