Subject: [Leica] (OFF TOPIC) Scanning

Luggers,

Sorry, in changing from one computer to another, I apparantly deleted the
messages I had received and saved about scanning and scanners.  As I
mentioned I want to scan a number of my slides to store on disks or CD's.
Perhaps print not larger than 8 x 10.

I would like to hear about experiences with the HP Photosmart scanner with
slides.  From their material it appears that they have a resolution of
2400dpi for slides, which would print 8 x 10 at 300 dpi.  I did look at
some scanned by R. Rose from prints and they looked quite good. If this is
satisfactory for me I can save $300-400 - or go to the next level of slide
scanners, Minolts, Nikon, Poloroid, etc.

Please e-mail me privately at: n5xrd@telepath.com

Thanks - to keep on topic, most of the slides I would scan are from Leicas
