A couple weeks ago, I posted that shot from Pentecost and it was OK, but I didn't like the scans they do at Walgreens, on CDs; but they certainly are convenient, just four blocks away. I dread work, and scanning is kind of like work, but I dug out the Nikon Coolscan 5000, and plugged it in, and to my astonishment, it worked under Windows 7 kinda, using a Vista driver. I rescanned the film, and I kinda like it. Oh yeah, before I could do that, I had to dismantle the scanner and clean the mirror. (Word to the wise. Keep your scanner covered when not in use.) (Further word to the wise: Don't drink too much coffee before you try to clean a scanner mirror.) Anyhow, here is the full frame scan. Below is the Walgreens scan http://www.sonc.com/pentecost_2010.htm Leica M2, 21mm Super Angulon f4, Fujicolor 400 scanned on Nikon Coolscan 5000 -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
