I also used CoolScan 4000 for almost 2 years, and Minolta Scan Multi II for a few months. I might have had a defective unit, but Minolta -- had serious banding problems -- the software is a piece of crap, that didn't do even what it was supposed to -- the color reproduction (esp. the blue channel) was horrible. I routinely had pink areas (like, peoples lips) on my scans that had 0 blue! it had a great price from calumet, but turned out to be a worthless piece of junk. OTOH, the nikon was truly great scanner, and the only reason i parted with it was to be able to scan mf as well. now i am waiting for the 9000 model. mishka
