Hi Skip:
What an interesting expression on her face, can't quite figure it out. The
results you are getting are very good.

locked onto a subject. I had a significant number of pictures where the
subject strayed between the focusing points and the camera focused on the
background. It's quite usable, but you have to be careful. I'll need the
next generation body to cure that issue. I'm not spending $4k on a 1D or
D2H

Shadow/Highlight tool on most of the images to get the shadows to open up.
It wasn't hard, but it was a pain. There was a lot of detail there and the
photos looked great after the edit. IMO, this would have been the same
situation as shooting slides.

but it's very wide and easy to grip. The tripod mounting ring adds a nice
bit of handling ease. When you zoom the lens out to 200mm, it grows about
4", which kind of looks phallic. I'm a little bit concerned about the
polycarbonate construction of the barrel, but that's because I'm used to
all-metal construction of the 80's or Leica. I can get used to modern
materials.

that are already digital than scanning. There's really no comparison to a
film workflow.
