Aah, there you go, Rick.
I was trying to champion the hybrid cause with film then scan etc.
So you do have a digital workflow with only the initial capture traditional.
That's my own chosen way as well.
No way it's less work or more efficient, but I believe has a number of 
advantages, from the transparencies as your archival medium
through the huge tonal range extracted from the film by a good scan to the 
ability to output on your own or commercial print setup. 

Cheers
Hoppy

Just the usual I guess.  Drop the cans into the prolab on the way to  
work.  Pick the processed trannies up after work or at lunch time if  
I can't wait.  Check em out with a loupe that night.  Stick the page  
of trannies in between the pages of Ted Grant's book to flatten them,  
with some telephone books on top to help.  Scan the good ones a week  
or so later with a Minolta 5400 II, to 42 megapixel resolution!!!   
Print the really good ones to A4 on an Epson 2400.  The rare stunner  
gets printed to 20 x 30" by the lab.  Hang some in a local gallery.   
Sell one every year or so.  :-D  Too easy.  :-)

Rick.
