Paul,
According to the Nikon Europe Support FAQ on NikonScan, the LS2000 is not
compatible with NikonScan versions later than 3.1.2 and only works with
3.x.x at all if it has the firmware upgraded to 1.3. It doesn't work with
the latest version 4. Without the firmware upgrade it only works with

There's a discussion (ugly flame war, actually) going on about this on the
usenet scanners list right now. The claim is that the Nikon light sources
are monochromatic, so only measure the spectral responses of the dyes at
three points. The further claim is that
I suggest anyone who has flamed me in the past about my commentary on
Nikon scanners earmark this posting of mine, so that it can be easily
referred back to. ;-)
I'm actually going to sort of defend Nikon.
Many of the cold cathode tubes used in film and flatbed scanners also

Kodachrome is a quirky little beast to deal with, especially with
Nikonscan.
In fact for that reason alone do I end up using Vuescan for doing large
quantities of Kodachrome. Otherwise it's just too frustrating to
fight with
Nikonscan.
As to your test results, yes,
I've been Googling since my first message, and have found a number of
references to blue casts on Kodachrome with the Nikon scanners. The weird
thing is that I've owned the LS-2000 for several years, and before this
year-long hiatus had scanned at least a hundred Kodachrome slides without

Paul,
I'm in guess mode here. I suspect that there is a problem with the
driver, or the firmware needs to be reflashed.
I have a very vague recollection of some problems with some Kodachromes
with the LS-2000 years ago, and I seem to recall them being quite
underexposed.
My approach would be
