Nothing in the same league. If I was using Leica/Contax primes, I'd probably need 4000ppi to get the best scans - and I could probably afford the scanner. :) I have a number of lenses, but the one which is causing the most frustration from a lack of sharpness is the Sigma 28-80 AF zoom. Hence my recent question about chasing a better lens. The Pentax 43mm limited is looking good at the moment - provided I can find the cash. Obscanning: Moral of the story is don't expect extraordinary scans if the lenses you're using are very ordinary... Rob PS Tony, hopefully my headers won't be screwed up anymore. The cause is the default setting in Outlook Express 5.x for "Western ISO" text. The setting is hard to find and its significance not obvious. It's generally only a problem for digest users.
