When you use the term "flare" do you mean that light areas near dark ones tend to be washed out around the edges, almost like a soft focus halo around the very brightest areas?
If so, you've brought up an issue that has been discussed before in this group and the other scanner group without resolution. Since i never got a straight answer for the other people who discussed this (and I don't own an LS2000), I was wondering if this problem is relatively new, if it manifested over time, or if it was there since new? I have a suspicion, like you, that it is due to dirt or oils that got deposited on some of the optics causing this blooming, but others are suggesting it is an inherent CCD design issue. I can't answer how involved a cleaning is, but I would be interested if you can tell me if this problem is one which has developed over time.
