That was incorrect. The scanner actually used was the Polaroid SprintScan 45, which can handle originals all the way up to 4x5 inches, is marketed as a "pro" product, and costs several times as much as the 35+ (which handles 35mm originals only). Detailed specs for these scanners are available at http://www.polaroid.com. Also, I gave an incorrect address for the 1.7-MB JPEG file. The correct URL is: ftp://ftp.std.com/pub/pieter/sun.jpg My apologies if I've led anyone astray. The conclusion remains the same: I'd rather spend my hard-earned kilobucks on Leica glass than on mediocre digital hardware (with crap optics) that will be flea-market goods in a couple of years. - -- Pieter Bras
