Thanks for that, Ed.  I figured I must be the only one who thought that was 
the case..

To be honest I've never used it to help with overexposed negs/ undexposed 
slides because my Acer has no trouble with these - from conversations with 
other Acer users, I suspect either my lamp is particularly bright :) or the 
unit is calibrated differently to most.

I only have real trouble with noise and g-a in the light areas of film, so 
it doesn't help me much.
