Khalid, thanks for the kind remark! I have been very happy with my scanner/scans as well. Currently I am using the Konica DiMAGE slide and negative scanner. I find this to save a ton of money on developing my photos. Now I can afford to pay a proffessional lab to process my slides sans prints. Then I simply scan in the best of the batch. Anways, thanks again for the positive feedback. Warm regards, b.
