I wanted a printer of my own anyway, and it solves one uncomfy hassle of setting up my temporary darkroom, a stuffy place smelling of vinegar. I'll continue to process film in my Jobo CPE2+ , maybe do some contact prints with the help a Nova processor, if mine ever arrives. 8x10 negatives sure would be nice at times like this... The front end of the digital system presents a problem, since many of my photos are larger than 35mm, and drum scans, through lovely, are $40 a pop. Has anyone found happiness in a sub-$1K flatbed scanner with transparency adaptor, or found a way to fool the likes of the HP Photosmart into doing the job? Or found out where those desktop drum scanners are unloaded for cheap? If it can at least preserve shadow detail better than PhotoCD, that'd be a start. By the way, thanks for the online sample images, Hans! Jeff
