I am a gal. 
I have a lot of films and I scan quite often.
No, 4180 does not have ICE. My co. has 4990, it's good! But it might be over your budget.
Check out the review here for 4990.

I know.... I was trying to search on what is a S20... and found nothing... I have mounted slides, and wanted to find if it can scan slides too... and I think getting accessories for it could be a problem too.......
$150 is a good price for sure...... that's why it is sold so fast....
do a search on www.google.com . you should be able to find the info you need.

Most scanners do a single pass scan. Which means the scanner scans the negative/ slide once. A multi-pass scan is when the negative/ slide is scanned multiple times before being combined into a single image. This can yield better results but you'll need to ensure that the scanner is on a stable platform or you may have certain problems because of misalignment between scans.

Hope you can get it soon......
It's ok.. I found out that my kindergarten & pri. sch. & sec. sch. schoolmate is working at the shop.. Can always arrange for him to hide one set for me when the stock arrives...
The 6100 scanning is not that sharp. I had one almost 5 month old. Tried Neg Film & Slides and it's not acceptable to me lah...
It's good that it can scan Medium format too & have the light box on the cover. (only use that now)
Yes, I had a ScanDual II for sale now at S$250.
Hurry before it's gone!
Sure the quality is much greater because it's a dedicated film scanner. The light pass thru direct to the film unlike flatbed which have to pass thru the glass. Buy film scanner for film. Buy flatbed scanner for scan pics or doc.
If you need flatbed scanner with Film scanning you need to get the high end with have Dynamic range of at least 3.6
