Just to comply with list introduction rules, my name is John Parker and I am a London based editorial photographer specialising in architecture, art and history based subject matter. I also run my own small commercial photo library.
Although I am still using film, I bought an Imacon Flextight Photo scanner from Leeds Photovisual in London approx 18 months ago. After five months of limited use the scanner started making loud clicking noises when I fed the flexible film holders into the machine and the resulting scan produced either an even grey or a coloured grain effect. Leeds loaned me a replacement scanner while mine was repaired ( it took three months ) but now exactly the same problem has recurred and I am presently working on a large book project where I really need the scanner. Have any of the list Imacon owners had similar problems? I seem to remember someone mentioning this as a problem associated with a batch of Flextights just after I bought mine. I am loathe to agree to a further repair if the fault is likely to keep recurring. After a second recurrence of the same problem I think I should be asking for a new replacement. Any advice / comments gratefully received.
