    Besides this forum, you might want to ask on others as well. There's a dedicated Yahoo group here: http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/Screen1030ai/
    and the Scan Hi-End group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ScanHi-End also has many experienced owners.

    Gosh, there is a other problem to deal with this thing. It's all about the operator knowing how to operate it right. You definitely need someone in this field who has been working with this machine to train you how to use it with the color neg. I've had this for a few years and hardly use it. I used for the first few months to test it just to get to know the machine and it does give you a great scan . Both color and B&W. Mine came with complete software, manual, and a Mac G3 . Since I don't use it that much I forgot how to work it; everytime I turn it on I have to go through those maual books to refresh my memory.
    Like I said, I don't use it that much so if anyone wants it please contact me, make me an offer, or trade me lenses or a camera. Sorry I can't help you that much, but I understand your frustration.
