Ken, I'm sure Martin was suggesting making a conventional optical

print to paper at 8 x 10 inches and scanning that print on a flatbed

scanner as opposed to using a film scanner on such a small

transparancy.

I think you will find that the Leica S1 is a trilinear scanning

camera (just like a scanner) and the CCD is not 5140 x 5140. It takes

over 3 minutes for exposures.

I just noticed submini.com has updated (or is in the process of updating) their web site, and it indicates they are digitally processing for printing. Some time back I received a mailer from Minoxlabs that they were about to start offering service of transfering "film to CD and the internet".

Does anyone know more details?

I have scanned Minox 8 x 11 negatives using th HP Photosmart scanner,

and mounting the negatives in 2 x 2 slide mounts. Obviously the

result at 2400 ppi is not sufficient for large prints, but is

adequate for moniter display. The maximum result is 1039 x 756 pixels.

This can be done with the HP software, but I prefer Vuescan

(http://www.hamrick.com/).

Surely any scanner that scans slides could do the same. Also check:

John,

You'll need to set the meter to the film speed when you load film.

(When the camera is open.)

What are the options for scanning Minox (8 x 11) film? What scanners and how must the film be mounted in film scanners.

<p>

I wonder what the scan to disk option of Minox Labs is like. What pixel resolution, etc.?

<p>

Thanks, Bob.
