I am currently scanning with a Polaroid Sprintscan 35 Plus on a = Dual-Processor Pentium II 300Mhz with 320MB RAM, and color correcting using a Panasonic PanaSync Pro 17" = monitor and Matrox Millenium 8MB video card. Over the past 2 years, I have used a Nikon F5 with 24, 50, 85, and 180; = Leica M6HM with 35/2 ASPH, 50/2, 90/2.8, and 90/2; and a Leica R4 and R8 with 35/1.4, 50/2, 80/1.4, = 100/2.8 APO, and 180/2.8 APO.
