The forced rythm and necessary lack of interruption made it very relaxing to me. I can imagine it get dreary if you have done a lot of it, but I haven't, so it isn't... Other reason for setting up one is that I recently accidently won a Pentax 645 with A75/2.8, and I can't scan medium format negatives. I tried with a HP scanjet 3970 with white paper behind the negatives, but I don't think that set-up does them justice. My negative scanner certainly won't take medium format. To print those wet, I just need a longer enlarging lens (or maybe not even that), to process them on a PC I'd need an expensive new scanner and printer. I rather buy the lens ;o) -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
