It may be showing in your neck of the woods. Chuck Albertson Seattle, Wash. New to "LUG" but old to Leica with my first M2 in 1960's I have been reading the various postings on scanning negatives with a Nikon LS2000 and printing via Epson printers. The impression I have, especially from Tina Manley, is that the end result is very close to a darkroom-produced print. Is this so? After over 35 years of shooting my M2 and now M6's are my days of fume inhalation, dodging cramps hypo reeking clothes over? Does this really work? If so, how can I see the results before doing my Bessler, Focomat etc garage sale? Is anyone willing to send me a rejected proof or two which shows the print quality? I currently use digital images for plate making on work to be printed. But for prints you can hold? Make it so Tina. Anyway thanks for your help and some interesting posts. Larry Gadd
