I daren't say!
It includes many of the the K & M lenses, some A lenses, an odd F, several FA's and all the DFA's bar one.

It's still current on the Ricoh site, or at least it doesn't say discontinued!

There's another way of looking at this. I purchased a high end Fuji compact a few years ago and as people here are saying they were always updating and changing the firmware, sometimes even changing the function of the buttons. I found it totally confusing for no real reason and I haven't purchased another Fuji since. It seems that they were unable to get the design and firmware right first time.

A quick bump as I've added a scanned photo.

I wouldn't have thought that required anything special. Maybe something better than one of those budget 'scanners', but a Minolta Scan Dual (or similar film scanner) or an Epson Perfection flatbed would manage that well. I'd do it for you if I was closer (perhaps someone nearer might?) otherwise visit one of those local shops and tell them what you want. If they say they can do it and can't you'll owe them nothing, if they do OK problem solved.

This is a recent scan using an Epson Perfection V500 flatbed from a colour negative from around 1990.

Do you know what resolution the publishers require? Someone's hi-res may be lo-res to someone else!

Probably, but it may help someone else who's wondered about it.

Is it loads of them or just a couple? I'd have thought any publisher would have a scanner in any event and be able to do them as they wish.
