[Leica] Nikon Scanner Problem

[rpalmier at depaul.edu (bob palmieri)]

Folks -

I'm having a serious problem with my Nikon Coolscan V ED, in that it  
simply won't scan this new Rillei ATP 1.1 film.  The base seems to be  
of quite normal thickness, the strips are flat & square.  Any attempt  
to load with Nikon Scan 4 results in the strip being pulled all the  
way in, at which time a "scanner couldn't load the film" and "A minor  
error occured during Preview" or something like that.  Any other B&W  
material that I use (Neopan and Tmax) scan just fine.

At the suggestion of our friend Hoppy I tried Vuescan, which just  
tells me that no film has been loaded (although the strip has been  
pulled in to the normal extent.)  Nikon tech support hasn't been too  
helpful 'cept to say that I can send it in if I want.

This film (with the Spur developer) is the best looking B&W film I've  
ever seen, and I really wanna do some scanning before I send the negs  
to my printer guy.

Has anyone had any experiences like this??
