[Leica] Scanner software question

[Nathan Wajsman]

Thanks Chris. But actually, Vuescan (I downloaded it yesterday to try) made my scanner freeze and I had to Force Quit it several times. Silverfast is not very expensive these days, €50-€150 depending on version, so I have downloaded it and will give it a go tonight.

Cheers,
Nathan
