[Leica] Vuescan and Nikon ED 5000 woes again

[firkin at ncable.net.au (Alastair Firkin)]

Tina, I've listened to this very good advise in the past and I know  
its a great idea, BUT I am trying to sort file and store the images  
from thousands of negs, and I just cannot imagine I would save time  
by trying to review them on a lightbox, cut them up and mount them. I  
have used your advise for ongoing projects and the multislide scanner  
is great. If I had started that way life would be a lot easier now ;-)

Thanks
