In a word, No. I've had Century and Crown Graphics for years, but
it was just this past summer that I blew my OM-3Ti money on the
Horseman and a couple of lenses. Now I'm too poor to buy a medium
format scanner, though I've been looking at the new C*n*n Canoscan
something or other. I confess, though, that everything I shoot
with the medium format stuff is also shot with an Oly.
Also, since PhotoPoint now appears to be finally and officially
dead -- two months after I ponied up a year's membership fee,
naturally -- I don't have anything anywhere for anybody to look at
anyway. I just signed up with PhotoNet, so maybe when I get a
scanner, I can post something. Of course, the difference between
a 6x9 and a 35mm shot wouldn't be apparent on even the best
computer screen. You really have to see the prints to tell the
difference. I get a kick out of people getting closer and closer,
sometimes with their nose nearly touching the print, because the
great detail draws them in.
