Hi Ed,
Again, not to be argumentative, but, I do understand it is the same CCD.
That isn't the issue. We know that, for instance, typically the blue
scan is noisier than the green or red, right?
I have no idea what type of response the infrared sensitivity of the CCD
is, but I'm (guessing) tha

Is it that big a difference? We're speaking of the light angle
differences which can allow for an exposed area due to the gap between
the internal frame mask within the camera and the film plane... so,
that's based upon how far the guide tracks stand out from the frame

That's incredible. I thought only HP was asleep at the switch
on this, with their HP Photosmart and S-20, both of which will destroy
your sixth frame if you use a full 6 frame film strip. HP finally made
the software limit intake to 4 or 5 neg strips to "resolve" the problem.
