I already have a MF (and LF) capable scanner but it does top out at only 1200ppi. Thats no big deal at this stage: it was very well priced for its capabilities and in theory I can get a good print from 6x7, up to about 12x18" (so far I've only tried up to 8x10).

I have plenty of memory and disk space so thats no problem either. In fact I'm thinking of trying to stitch 24x68mm panoramas together at full res. I understand this can be done, at least with Vuescan. Its a pity the scanner can't do them in one pass. > If your in a high speed link i can put a compressed tiff file up for you > to download. No need... I've only recently upgraded to a 56k modem :( Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
