However, you have to make sure that if you use a card reader it's at room temperature for at least an hour so you don't chill-shock the connections which leads to more aliasing and possibly so XIF confusion. I don't need to agitate them at all. ab On 12/1/05, B. D. Colen <bdcolen@comcast.net> wrote: > I'd suggesting using Lexar or SanDisk CF - great exposure range and color > fidelity.
