I fail to see how this contradicts anything that I have said or refutes anything I suggested. I think I acknowledged that there were flatbed scanners that would do a satisfactory job and that there may even be some dedicated mailing lists for them. I went on to say that if an itemized listing of the scanners on the market capable of handling 5x7 and larger films and doing a good job in scanning them existed, I did not know of it. I still make that claim. One person's putting forth one name does not make a list of those scanners. I believe that the original message asked for a list of scanners and not suggestions as to specific individual scanners (although I did find it ambiguous if they were asking for an itemized listing of scanners or mailing lists that focused on scanners used to scan that size film). > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 2:08 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [filmscanners] Re: > > Laurie Solomon wrote: > > ><snip> > >Thus, in my opinion, in the past there were mailing lists > and still may > >be mailing lists for the drum scanners and the Imacons as > well as for > >many of the flatbed scanners that could be used.
