i try to give as good as i get. and the LUG has been tremendously
inspiring... and is what motivated ME to get the noct.

as per mark rabiner's recommendation i was using xtol(1+3) with neopan
1600 to increase sharpness.  but i also do dial in some unsharp masking in PS
to compensate for the scanning process.  i use the minolta dimage multi.
