filmscanners: My replacement 8000 is banding like the first one :-(

["Lawrence Smith" <lsmith@lwsphoto.com>]

My replacement 8000 was humming right along and I thought I was home free
but I scanned a slide with lots of deep blue/purple sky and sure enough,
banding galore.  I have a tag to send it back to Nikon but I'm a bit
skeptical that it will make much difference at this point.  If my wife were
not having a baby, I would bag the whole thing an get an Imacon.  Parting
with that kind of $ right now just does not feel right however.  What to do,
what to do...
