Neat. I wish I could afford one of those, but the Epson V700 is about as much as I can justify for med format scanning at home, given the very very low volume of medium format film I've found time to do since i bought back into it. However, I found out by accident that the local pro camera shop rents time on an Imacon scanning setup if I want to make scans at somewhat higher resolution. One of these days I'll have enough negs to be worth the minimum hour rental fee and will give it a shot. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
