Hi Gang,
Just a gentle reminder that if you can get your entries for the
next gallery in early it makes the load on Josteins server that

The camera reads the encoded film speed, however, you can over-ride it. It
is more safety than anything. There have been times in the past, when in
the heat of the moment, I have shot at the wrong speed, with no way of
recapturing. My mistake of course.

Its a scanning software available for using with different scanners. Beauty
of the program is as I have heard from many people at different places, it
significantly increases the quality of the scan - the corrections needed to
