This danged brotherhood stuff is ticking me off. I decided long ago to stick with Pentax 35mm, and you 6x7 folks just keep hurling up the "big neg" arguement, and I want a 6x7 but I want a 300 f4 for K mount even more. Damn, this group is expensive. Grin. -Lon Paul Stenquist wrote: > > Someone

Cotty, This makes me wonder. You have started to stray from the Pentax fold, not only lusting in your heart for harlot DSLRs, but actually purchasing one, as I recall. Will you repent? Buy the new Pentax, insert your Nikanonlta into a garbage disposal and turn the knob to "Heavy Shred"? Grin.

I'd love to be able to agree. I think this probably depends on the scanner. My Pacific Image Primefilm 3600 "Pro" does a decent job on slides provided there is not dark detail to wring out. It poops all over dark slides, but then I got it for about $500. Its limitations have turned me into a di
