Two versions, in Europe there's just one version. The difference of $ 200.-
is quite steep for two IT8 targets and calibration software. Wolf Faust will
sell targets for a lot less. I think the expensive packet may have the full
version of Silverfast included while the cheaper packet has the light
version of Silverfast. The last is like the European packet, pricewise too.
Could that be right ?
I still hope that I have mine within a week.
