Fantastic Medium Format Scanner!!2004-01-21
I was skeptical at first when I heard that Microtek was coming out with a medium format scanner, as I had only seen 35mm scanners from them. My skepticism aside this is a great product. I read a few reviews online and decided to live a little and take the plunge. I received the scanner, set it up and then went to work with it. The installation was flawless in Windows XP and the firewire connection seems very responsive. As for the actual scans the images come out crisp and very detailed. ScanWizard Pro allows me to plug in all my profiles which is nice as I can simply add in my ICM profile from my printer and off I go. I am pleased so far with the progress that this scanner has made, as I have hundreds of scans to go.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
