Question: Is the Digicopy apparatus at all a quality method for digitizing 

chromes with the current Digilux model? I'm not expecting Drum Scan quality 

but as good as my local one hour shop would be nice. I would like to get a 

digicam to play with anyhow (and why not Leica at that price), but if I 

could use it to get some workable scans of the 100s of chromes I have in 

stock, It would be that much better a buy.


Thanks in advance.

It is a pretty good little scanner...but at this point I'd wait for the 
Digilux 4.3 as the extra pixels will make a BIG difference I believe. That is 
if you don't already own a Digilux Zoom...

later,
