What problems did the old scanners have with excessive dust and scratches?
I haven't seen anything with my LS30 I'd describe as a problem with respect
to dust and scratches on chromogenic film. The only problem I've had with
the the Nikon I'd describe as a fault is the jaggies produced by Nikonscan
(which Vuescan cures). Do you mean the collimated light highlighting dust
and scratches? I wouldn't expect that to change either.

Presumably the behaviour would be identical with Kodachrome
and B&W film because the behaviour with IR is the same.
