oceans and

Gee Jim,
Thanks... I think ;-)

Hi Frank,
There are a couple of questions to ask in terms of these specifications.
A/D bit conversion is correlated to dynamic range. In theory, a higher
bit depth in the conversion, should result in a better (higher) dynamic

in preparation for purchasing a scanner to archive an extensive slide

Personally, I hadn't realized that the list even *needed* a revival.

My two cents is that the value of this list is its expertise
in film scanners. It's a film scanner group, not a group that
