After spending more than half an hour cloning gunk from a scan from a slide that some oligophrenic moron in the lab used to clean dandruff from his comb after sneezing on it.... I find myself positively wishing, no, longing for simple sensor dust.....

I saw a special on sensor dust at Walgreens for $69.95 or was that a digital camera? I couldn't tell.

My M5s need red dots!
Ah feel your pain, jaap... Time to find another lab.

Well, with the M8 (and the 28mm? maybe 21mm?) that shot could have even MORE dynamic range, and the only dust worries will be on your screen!
Nice shot!

Nice photo but poor justification for a M8 purchase.

Turn on ICE in the scanner, it works wonders

Not for this amount of gunk and it loses quite a bit of microcontrast in my experience. It may be my poor scanning technique.I never use it.

Hardware ICE shouldn't normally lose you any contrast in areas unaffected by dust. Dye pigments are transparent to infrared and unless there's something opaque (like dust) over it the correction software shouldn't start working there at all. Problem is that scanner software often goes with numerous postprocessing options enabled along with ICE by default, like "grain dissolve" and "image enhance" gimmicks, which indeed will affect the sharpness.
But, yeah, sometimes it's just too much dirt to cope for ICE even, I feel your pain

Jaap, so you got yours back from coding? Mine is waiting for in a box in London, I'm told.
I like your picture, but a timely reminder that to do that on the M8, you'll need the Tri-Elmar set to 18. What finder are you using?
