can you tell us more about the real world performance with negs.
How do plugged up highlight areas (darkest on the neg) scan in terms of 
detail and noise? Have you compared to any high-end scanner?
Since you mentioned color negs (off topic here, but...) does the interface =
have 
profiles or transforms for different color neg films?
