[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The 8000 did indeed have a banding issue that would occur only occasionally.
It
could be solved by scanning using the 3 pass scan, either in Nikon Scan or
Viewscan. The 8000 also scanned in 12bits vs the 9000 in 14; probably not an
issue with BW as Dante said.

Subject: Re: [Leica] WTB: medium format film scanner
My only caveat (I sold my LS-8000 after 3 years and got the LS-9000 since
the price differential is only a couple hundred bucks for me...) and I do
find that the 9000 has less problems with banding on B&W negs than the 8000,
especially since I use NikonScan and not Vuescan. YMMV.
