The list requires no effort on my part at all, if it's quiet - just weeding all the newly-bouncing mail addresses whenever it wakes up periodically. There are still 399 list members and 562 digest members. New people still join. Personally, I've shot just two rolls in 2years, everything else has been on digital cameras. I absolutely love dig. and am happy to leave film behind, with only a few reservations about B&W. The materials I liked best are long gone anyway, eg Record Rapid before they ruined it by taking all the filthy Cadmium out for H&S reasons. And there is the sad fact that photographs are now virtual entities which will for the most part be lost forever. Successive generations are unlikely to have the dusty box of old prints to look at of Great Grandad Tony. But I still have vast amounts of legacy material to scan. At my current rate of progress I'll easily have it all finished within 3 or 400 years. Incidentally, regarding the adjacent thread on film vs. sensor, for some truly staggering examples of film + scanning have a look at the Gigapixl project - www.gigapixl.org Regards Tony Sleep - http://www.halftone.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
