Sorry if this additional public reply further irritates some. It is rather obvious that there are several philosophies about internet lists at play here, and each have their valid points. Many active members of lists I have been on are strong believers in the idea of an internet list being a com

It was my question that was the root cause of this controversy. Please accept my apologies. I'm new at this, (both digital images and email lists). I'm a sculptor whose transparencies are seldom returned by publishers or authors who request them, so I was considering the possibility of sending dig

Hi Maaki, I recall your original request for filmscanner information, back in May of this year, which I attempted to answer, and hopefully you were supplied with some useful information to help you make a decision which worked for you. I honestly do not think you need to apologize for anything.

Just to muddy the waters, I've used my D100 to 'scan' slides using the ES1 Slide copier that Nikon makes. Not pretending that the quality is brilliant, but it is quick and easy, and will only get better with improvements in cameras. Bob Frost. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
