filmscanners: D1x (was: Digital Shortcomings)

["Lynn Allen" <ktrout@hotmail.com>]

Thanx, Larry. For a few happy hours there, I thought I might get one--the 
web site was pretty impressive. Meanwhile, back at "Reality Central," it 
seems that I'd have to get *really lucky* with a lottery pick or a daily 
double to afford that beauty *plus* lenses to make it work--and then hiring 
an armed guard every time I used it. ;-)

Soooo, I guess it's time to re-set my sights on a target I could actually 
"hit." But thanks for the tantalizing input. :-)

Best regards--LRA
