No doubt you would have no objection to me pre-judging in a positive light !
My 'pre-judging' (prejudices) are based on the information you have given
me. The fact that the device in question destroys the film leaves a wry
smile on my face - that's all ! It a funny idea.

I think you are missing the point of shooting on negs... There is no need to
'back-up' as the negs will be readable in 20 to 30 years time as they are -
as long as they have been processed correctly. I do not have to worry about
the CD been unreadable in 5 years time, or the continual hassle of opening
each CD just to check its still 'readable'. For �12.00 + Vat I'm very happy
to 'have it both ways' - film scanned to CD and have the original negs. I
see it as a 'Win Win' situation - rather than a 'Win Loose' situation, which
is what your process is offering me. I 'win' the CD, but 'loose' the negs.

And I love this bit of the blurb..... Isn't this taking the 'green-vote' a
little too far ? I mean, I'd like to see some sort of by-product.....In
normal parlance its called film.

Thank you for making be cry with laughter. Its a great idea.

All the best,
David
