Re: Hassleblad XPAN camera and related scanning question

[Jerry Olson <jerryolson@rrv.net>]

Jim, I didn't know it was motor driven. Thats great. If it approaches leica
quality in the lens department, that's good enough for me. If the 1600 epson
scanner can scan that size with no problems, I'll order one right away. Was
going to rent one, but it costs too much just for a trial. Besides, if it REALLY
isn't what I want, I can return it.
