"Another way to do it would be to make contact sheets and scan them, which might be simpler, though you would want to be careful to get pretty good contact prints, in order to get a good quality scan." I was quite aware of that option............. One of the reasons I am looking into digital is the time factor (as well as I can't hide my head in the sand and not go with the future of photography) Making conventional proofs is a major part of the time consideration. I do mostly Theatrical Head Shots..................... And my customers want to see every shot that may even remotely look good, I can't just select a few shots to show them. I like the idea that when ever I have a few minutes here and there between other engagements I can work on images at the computer and don't have to go and set up the chemicals etc for working just a short period of time. Of course I do have to learn a whole bunch of new stuff.................... Ain't modern science sumthin' I understand that using a microdrive is not recommended on the E 10. I seem to remember reading in some article that one guy did use one though...... Any body have any experience on that? Russ R.E. Baker Photography rebphoto@pronetisp.net
