<p>I am currently an Older Person. When I was a Younger Person, I laid this brick patio. I built this porch. With the help of good friends, I knocked a great hole in our home's back wall and installed this glass door.</p>

<p>Glory days.</p><div></div>

<p>>> "I would scan the entire roll if there was an easy way to 'set and forget' "</p>

<p>In addition to the high-quality scanners you're considering, you might think about getting a less expensive flatbed unit for proofing. I have an Epson V700 that will scan 36 frames of 35mm in "Thumbnail" mode without any further attention once you get it going. I make low resolution scans of each new roll, then import them into Lightroom for a digital record of what's on that roll. I also use those scans to print a proof sheet to file away in a binder with the negatives.</p>

<p>If there's a frame on the roll that looks good, I scan it with my Nikon 9000.</p>

<p>"If you're a cast iron pan person (you know who you are!) …"</p>

<p>I am though hadn't heard of Smithey's before. That's a beautiful pan.</p>

<p>Happy New Year, Nikon fans!</p>

<p>Gus and I corresponded about a repair he's doing for me on November 1. Since then he hasn't responded to emails or returned my phone call. Does anyone know if he's OK or what might be going on?</p>

<p>Thanks,<br />Kent</p>
