I have put my Cezannes for sale locally, here in São Paulo, and already have sold one, now down to two that are kind of spoken for.
I'll be away from this discussion for a while.

Sorry to hear that, Gulherme.

Ah, great, thank you all for your answers!
Tony: We do have 3 feet with the appropriate anti-vibration rubber mats, i jut thought there were 5!
Peter: Only positives from clients, we do scan negatives on the drum scanner (rare occasion though)
I have set up a plan to do the following after our move is complete:
- clean the scanner internally as good as i can (i think this hasnt been done before) and take out the 2 bulbs used for negative scanning as spares
- set up the old PowerPC G5 I found in the storage with 10.3.9 Panther and color genius v2
- update the firmware to work with color genius v2 on the G4 (can anybody provide a guide and what version i need to flash to?)
- connect the G5 to the scanner and hope that it works.
Check out what firmware you have. Go to Screen's download page. Find that firmware. Now read the "readme" file for each of the next successive firmware updates to figure out which ones you need. You have to go in the proper order!

Alright, thank you once more for your replies, I wont take out the transparency lamps then :/
One more question that came to my mind: can i simply take out the old scsi card from the g4 and use it in the g5? Is it still supported?
Because I read about several issues with different scsi cards somewhere in this thread.

I do things just a little differently. For BW scans, I go into the advanced settings. I first go the sharpening tab and turn it off. Now I go to the curves tab. I make a curve that inverts the negative. It's a pain, but you only ever have to do it once. Now, like Christian's method, the HD and SD options do the opposite of what they usually do. I set my shadows so that a sampler point reads 15/15/15. I do the same with highlights, but I don't go as high as Christian. I'm usually at 225/225/225. Now call the scan 000_BW_invert. The zeros are so it'll always be at the top of the list of scans. It can be at a low resolution. Next time you want to scan a BW negative, you simply load the settings. Color Genius keeps a record of all of the setups. Set sample points. Adjust HD/SD values. Double check resolution and magnification, as these can sometimes be sneakily changed by the preview scan. Name the file. Scan. What I like about this method, is that it automatically turns sharpening off. I found that I used to forget when I had to do that for every scan.

I haven't heard of people using a MacPro to drive Colorgenius and their Cezanne. I do and it has been working fine, so I though I'd list my set-up in case it is helpful.
