[Leica] re: film scanners

I'd like one that will do a quick scan of the entire roll just to give me
the opportunity to see the frame on the screen. Then I can spend a while on
frames that are worth scanning. One of the scanners I looked at will do
multiple scans of the same frame to eliminate noisy areas...well worth the
time.

Mention was made of how long it takes to scan negatives. 

That is in keeping with my belief that excellent prints take time to make. 

If you want to do a good job in the darkroom or in photoshop you need to
take your time, you need to have good taste and you need to do what you are
doing.

Digital is nice insofar that once you have manipulated the image the way you
want it, you can save your work and recreate it with little effort (the
printers do make some demands).

But excellent prints just don't happen. You have to make them just as you
have to make a good photo in the wet darkroom. Quality is not the product of
luck, and quality takes time. 

I got into printing my own photos because I found so many labs rushed things
out. It's easy to print a lot of medicore photos, but who needs them.
