dr5 is putting digital up to the test. If anyone has a good scanning back and 
would be willing to handle capture, I'll take care of scanning film and doing 
prints on a 9600 with ColorByte RIP. This would be B&W all the way.

Andrew,

Self-evident, so far as I am concerned, although I use 4x5 Velvia for 
convenience.

I have a Dicomed Field Pro scan back I could use, but a newer 
Betterlight back might be a better choice.
