Video replace still photography? In so many ways, not in my lifetime.

Ever notice how often people like to sit down and watch the old videos? Me neither.

A lot of Spotmatic folk on nelsonfoto.com may be interested-they're in the US, too.

I've been printing more of my work (again, mostly a film guy here) and have been doing some larger prints, so my 12MP or so scans are handy.

Another use for high pixel count is freedom to crop more aggressively.

For what its worth, my 2 MP Nikon does very nice prints.

Since you're in the US, try this.

I've used this several times and I'm about to send my MX. Fast and very reasonable repairs/CLA

I find my ME-F getting more use than my MX. Funny.

I too keep the negatives and slides as archives, and only use the scans for prints or sharing in slideshow DVD presentations.

When doing a lot of negatives, try not to get carried away with "maximum quality" settings, especially if you aren't printing. I used ICE on some really dirty stuff, but as has been noted it really knocks down the speed. I've seen other types of dust-removal software make weird artifacts and blurs. I end up happiest with a quick scrub.

Has anyone tried this with Kodachrome?

I just wonder how you came upon this-do you use the camera in total darkness?
