Hi Paul while I agree that scanning negatives is a pain for me (doing it now) your latest high iso photo samples did not convince me noise wise. Could you sell such photos or would you be happy with a print from iso 1600? The SR feature of the K10D seems to be very useful on the other side as your latest lovely photo of grace easily showed. greetings Markus
