[ale] OT:Recommended scanners

[Jeff Hubbs]

Film scanning and Linux have not gone well together. 

I'm not sure who all's scanners have this feature, but one thing about 
the Nikon units that was noteworthy was that the images used an infrared 
channel, whose purpose was to get an image of any dist or scratches on 
the film.  That channel was then used to interpolate the other color 
channels to mask out the defects in software.
