Thanks for the link, it's an innovative way of getting film into a digital format. Incidentally I have a V300 as well and the scans of 35mm negs it gives me are great (for printing up to 8x10 inches and sharing on the web). I didn't see enough difference in the tests Don gave between the two to justify me building a lightbox. However the lightbox does give images that are slighly sharper and I noticed that the tonality is marginally better, but nothing too drastic to my not very well-trained eye.

Good luck with the Pentacon auction, we'll be updating the blog with a launchtime for ALIEN-2 once we figure it out, but that only happens about a week before launch because it's heavily reliant on the wind.
