Never met such a bunch of miserable buggers - return of Velvia 50 is great
news (still have 10 rolls of the proper stuff in the freezer).

B&W is marvellous & V 50 is superb, it's the insipid rubbish in between
that's the problem... :-)

Heh, heh. The only Velvia I've scanned had to have its colour toned down
by a quarter... eh, 25%.

More to the point, I'm trying to get my head round Vuescan's RAW mode. I
mean, I read the bit about scans being dark, but some of them look like
night scenes from My Darling Clementine; colour's crap, too.
