Thanks for pointing that out. I thought about saying something, but was
afraid of sounding like a shill for a scanner I've never seen, as I've
already posted about that test and page 13 several times.
I think Vincent does himself and the scanner a disservice by not
rewriting the original 35mm scan test page or posting a big warning on
it. The page where he makes this discovery is one a 35mm only reader
might easily skip. Even the page name is misleading in this regard.
