However - and as always - there's a catch and you identified it:
Kodachromes! Generally, they are a nightmare to scan with Nikons. The
"Kodachrome" mode (I have an LS-50 a.k.a. Coolscan V) just doesn't go
far enough. When you run the A/B tests do try *dark* Kodachromes
because they challenge Nikons the most!

That is simply a dynamic range issue, and applies to both scanners.
