Rob is a real gentleman !
The definition he gives about the pure sh@# sold by HP as Slides Adaptor is
opening my old wound !
The results are not poor ... simply are not there .
After 3 months of absolute pain and real cursing in Italian (the worst
possible and the most siny ... don't we have the Pope ..... ? ) I have given
up (it was 3 years ago with a very expensive 6200c ... totally useless ...)
and I have bought a Nikon LS-30.
Sincerely.
