Digital BW, The Print

So maybe they've fixed it? My Nikon scan 4.0 sets the black & white 
points so tightly that I lose detail at both ends, but especially in 
the shadows. It's a nuisance in B&W, but more of a problem in color, 
since you are still left with the orange mask to deal with.I'm not 
the only one either- a while back Ernst Dinkle circulated a petition 
among LS-8000 owners to pressure Nikon into fixing it.

Happy to hear it's no longer an issue, if that's the case.
