To all:
I will add my support to revive this list. Unlike many of you, I recently
joined in hopes of getting some good ideas to support the purchase of a
filmscanner in my business. I have been disappointed in the very few
messages that have come across, so much so I haven't even introduced myse
Maybe, the name of the group should be changed to Image Capturing and
Digitalization Techniques. :-)

I've not been a member for long, having joined within the last year
in preparation for purchasing a scanner to archive an extensive slide

Personally, I hadn't realized that the list even *needed* a "revival".
This is an *incredibly* good list, because the jun
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
happens to talk about film scanners. If one just wanted the
group to be more talkative for the group's sake, we could just
start talking about politics or religion and have p

Gee Jim,

I'm sure some people may well wish I had... but the rumors of my demise

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
range. But the truth is, it isn't that simple, and the quoted results
