<p>Hi Glen!<br>
So your take on this is that reproducing negative with a camera will require more, and possibly more complex, post-work than scanning? <br>
For me the scanning software is a problem. As mentiod earler, Silverfast is a bit unstable on my system. I use a laptop (a fairly good one, performance-wise) but at this point I have no way of determining whether or not Silverfast would run smoother on a midrange desktop machine. So this is one of the reasons I'm contemplating other alternatives.</p>
