Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

for digital, I don't know, but setting up a camera over a light table to grab a 
whole bunch of negs or pages or slides on, say, general purpose color neg 
film maybe a good thing for copyright registration purposes. Something I read 
in PDN recently.

Otherwise, either you buy a fancy digital back for the Hassie (like that's real 
practical <g>) or go with good ol' cheap flatbed and churn for days. However, 
having done the latter (couldn't afford that FlexFrame) I find there are great 
benefits to contact sheets on screen and well worth the hassle.

Of course I don't know what it would be like for hundreds of rolls.... your own 
brain might end up on flower mode in that case.
