pls. note this is being sent to TWO lists (so you don't reply to BOTH <g>)
might be slighly OT for both lists...(neither FILMscanner nor OM specific)

has anyone used the transparency adaptor for the epson perfection
636u? from a picture in the scanner's manual, it appears to have it's own
lightsource, and can scan up to 4x5. it replaces the flatbed's lid,
occupying the entire top, and i guess it switches off the flatbed's lamp,
using only the adaptor's lamp and fb's sensor. epson has it for 90bucks.

if anyone has used it (or similar product to it; different from the
"pyramid" tranny adaptors on most flatbeds), i'd like to hear comments. i
have plenty of Tri-X, B&W+ and slides, not to mention lots of just regular
film that wasn't printed to my taste. a film scanner is currently out of the
question. any user experience would be much appreciated, along with
caveats (if any; not that i expect results akin to a filmscanner
;)) target will be web display, perhaps a nice 8x10 print on a photo
printer.

thanks,

/Acer V
