Digital BW, The Print

Kevin,

I bought one from Polaroid and so far so good. It will give you full frame
and then some. All the way up to 6x17 at 4000dpi which should be of interest
to the panorama shooters out there.

The only annoying problem is getting the film in straight. They include some
plastic guides but I am finding them to be pretty ineffective. I am
considering lightly gluing in a strip of film to use as a guide. Of course
you can also simply do a rotation in PS which may be the easier solution.

I recommend it. I was always bothered by the lost negative area on my 6x7
negs.
