I have an Epson 4850 for the MF stuffs. For both negative and slide I use
Epson scan with all auto adjustment disable. The raw scans look grey but it
is easy to adjust with post processing. Most auto function inside the
scanner software does not work well even the film scanner like 4000ED, for
4000ED I use Vuescan and again color balance set to "None".
The bad thing about built-in auto adjustment is they usually clip the
highlight and shadow or at least try to bring RGB to meet each other at both
ends where it isn't necessary true for all scenes.
