A big purchase for some of us. My horror story and OnT Leica is that years ago I had given my lab a roll of slides from my Leica RE - the camera worked flawlessly but the last slide was cut in half. When I complained they said it was sprocket slippage from my camera! What BS. Basically they had used an automatic cutting machine and the machine got flaky. I sent the two halves of the slide to the owner personally - he never responded but had one his lackeys in the lab come up with that excuse. Not even an offer of a free roll of film. I then switched to a "pro Lab" where they did most things by hand. There has never been a problem since. ernie On Wednesday, July 30, 2003, at 11:17 AM, JCB wrote: > I guess you don't have a stack loader for your scanner... ??? > > Lots of my friends load-up their stack loader with mounted slides and > walk away while the scanner happily scans. > > JB > > > At 11:46 PM 7/29/2003 -0700, Richard F.
