That's a FEATURE, not a bug! :-)
Good points all, regarding using the Macrophoto Stand (which I don't have so
I'm not used to thinking of it), and for using a scanner with an IR channel.
(Does anyone but Nikon do this?)
I scanned all my slides with a Nikon LS-4000 long ago, and then sold it. So my
slide scanning use is more occasional.
I also found that the IR dust removal softened the images somewhat, meaning you
still had to post-process them. I scanned with IR off, cleaning each slide with
a special dust removal contraption that worked wonderfully. It was shaped like
a "U" with anti-static brushes top and bottom, that you put a drop of
anti-static fluid on. I mounted it to the side of my work table and could run
slides through it almost as quickly as I could pick them up.
I found the brush eliminated 90% of the dust while not subtly softening the
image, like the IR dust removal did.
