Rick,

Glad it worked well.

I just bought one and tried it out last week.  I haven't gotten the slides
back yet.  Well let you know. Read Bill Rosauer's review on page 42 of the
Viewfinder, Vol. 32, Number 2, Second Quarter 1999.  It sets you straight
about setting the aperture on the camera - any setting - the manual and
Popular Photo are ambigous about this (PP is wrong).

A great New Year to everyone.
