RE: [Leica] Beauty of the digital darkroom

["Tim Atherton" <timphoto@nt.sympatico.ca>]

If you are sticking to the "budget - ish" level 1200dpi flatbeds, there is
the Agfa t1200 (or something like that) or the new Epson 1200
flatbed/transparency scanner. Maybe not the greatest for 120 (though not too
bad), but could be reasonable for 4x5?
