Digital BW, The Print

I understand your logic.. but it only holds true for me with a segment of the market.. and that is not typically the pro's .. I have (8) 4 drawer filing cabintets full of slides..all properly stored.. God know how many beyond that in the original slide boxes....Anyway point is properly cared for slides are one market and not properly cared for slides are yet another and also a bucket of shit that I can just look them in the eye and tell them I need to wet mount the slide..  Which by the way is an option that could be developed for a DSLR repro effort so ruling it out would be a mistake. LOL...how about a Gepe anti neuton glass slide mount and a tube of scanning gell ...now I'm sharing a secret...:-).. oops....... Anyway puter clean up time on a trash slide is billable labor ....were just service providers..

  True it does lose a bit of sharpness but I would rather spend 10 seconds applying sharpening then 60 minutes retouching out scratches. But that is just me, we scan many old slides from clients who stored them in basements, attics, back seat of car, in underwear drawer (you get the point).
