JA Since my once brilliant local repair shop has been bought out by the jokers JA from Vancouver, I don't trust them any longer. Also, won't such a retrofit JA need both the focusing and light meter recalibrating? JA James Yes, it will need both recalibrating. It's worth the effort though, IMO.

It takes me 1 minute with the HP S20. How long does it take you to scan MF images? I'm planning on purchasing a 2450, but 10 minutes for a 35mm portion sounds awfully long. Jeff. I am delighted with the 2450 35mm results except it takes too damn long to scan 35mm 2400 ppi ( 10 minutes).

Hi JC, Nice shot, my friend has a Nikon Coolpix scanner, and I watched him scan in negs at HR in around 30 Seconds. I'm sure speed will depend on how good your PC is! My son has a 1.6GHz Athlon XP with 500MB SD-RAM. He scans photos way faster than I can, with my Pentium MMX 200 with 64MB Fast
