Wow, that's not much. 3.5GB is a little less than 2 rolls of 120 scanned, or 7 frames of 4x5. Around 315 6MP Raw's. It is a lot of JPEG's though ( 1000 or so 6MP JPEG's). UNless you go for archival media, the lifetime is likely 10-20 years max for CD-R or DVD-R's. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
