Talking of scanners - my negative scanner leaves much to be desired. The 
images produced by it are nowhere as good as the prints I got when I had the 
film developed. The images I d/l of my 300D are *vastly* superior - the 
scanner introduces so much noise I'd be way too embarassed to show my film 
shots. The negatives look fine to the naked eye though and the prints taken 
from them were much better than the scans I get.
