I've always shot 90% slides as opposed to negs and never projected a single slide! It's print output for me. Indeed, most professional slide film use is intended for print output one way or another. And I've always had better results scanning slides than negs. Perhaps it's just my greater experience with slides... -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
