Austin....................

Thank you for your clarification.  I was mistaken on what this group was
about.
I will now go looking for a group that fits by needs.

Good luck

But William is isn't MY clarification...it's the groups description as
listed at the link provided below.

I don't believe that at all...

I do believe this group is as good as it gets for this very topic, (aside
from the Piezo group...which is strictly about Piezo though, and there is
discussion about scanners, film, processing etc. on that group too), for
quality of people and for lack of "fluff", unlike the Epson mailing list
(bleck...though it has some outstanding people on it).  Yes, some topics
stray off, like the Canon lense posts...which, even before asked, was taken
off list.
