Sam,
Let me know of your progress, I am in Sacramento, having lived in Belmont
for some time before (a refugee from Silicon valley), I've even been in the
Berkeley store, but some time ago). I go down to Mountain View/Woodside
about once every two weeks.

Sam,
1) where do you live? And how much would you charge per 6X7 transparency or
neg? It sounds like an interesting idea.

Hi,
Before this list goes away completely, I have a question.
Sometime ago, I seem to recall that someone reported taking apart a Polaroid
SprintScan 4000 to clean either the CCD/light or the gears, or both. I also
think I recall that the one caveat was to be very careful in handling the

I have a Mac (G4 dual) and a P4 - both have 512 Mbyte, both more than 100 GB

isn't the problem. I also have a p2000 printer. I ran into
better as I can
manipulate the DMAX by using a different film (or processing Tech Pan
myself).
I will look further (into the specs for the Expression) and if I get around
to doing a comparison with 35mm, report back.
Thanks again,

I've hesitated to suggest this as it seems extreme, but from the discussion,
it seems that extreme measures are needed. What I am suggesting would
