Digital BW, The Print

Hi Clayton,
Yes, I'm still using the Multipro, but some of my negs are too big, it 
won't do 6x12.

So I'm waiting for the Epson V750 which is due in May. I don't think 
Epson have let any of these out yet, but it is an improved version of 
the V700. You can read a very detailed test of this by Vincent Oliver on 
http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20V700/page_1.htm

I knew Vincent in the 1970s when we he ran a small group of 
photographers called Group Six. He is very thorough in the tests, 
although I wish he would do a few more things, such as using Vuescan 
software.

Regards

Peter Marshall
