[filmscanners] RE: 'Cheap' film scanner recommendations

But the poster says clearly that the slides are mostly Kodachromes ("I
have a collection of around 2500 slides, mostly Kodachrome").  Digital
Ice does not work very well if at all with Kodachromes.  Digital ICE
relies on infrared to identify scratches and dust; but infrared does not
see through silver halide emulsions very well, so it does not work with
B&W or Kodachromes which use silver halide emulsions.
