The minimalist look is exactly what is needed. cheers Rae Hi Shaun,

That being said, one can scan a 4x5 or 8x10 in multiple passes and stitch. Other than that (for me pretty minor as I intend to shoot a lot more 6x12 or 6x9 for the moment as it's cheaper to develop) limitation, it is for all intents and purposes a v700 for $350. I was pretty impressed with the tonal depth captured and the overall sharpness achieved at 3200dpi. I'm using vuescan at the moment - seems to do the job nicely :) The v500 has a much thinner film scanning opening / light than the v700 / 750 so it will only do 6×12 max (probably expandable to 6×24 if you ditch the stock carrier) in one pass.

Let me know if you want to ride in together at some stage once it all happens. Hi mate, good to hear the exercise is going well and you are keen to start riding to work again once you move office.
