L, to convert your Leica slides or color negatives to digital requires a good quality scanner designed for that purpose, such as the Nikon Coolscan IV ED Scanner, listing for $890, the Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED at $1690, each of which also need the Auto Slide Feeder at $500. For slightly lower quality, you might consider the Polaroid SprintScan 4000 at $1400. These scanners come with software that will remove surface scratches and blemishes on the slides. I also wonder what to do with my Olympus OM-1, which has given me more than 27 years of good service and has a number of lenses that are, to make an understatement, incredible, including a 90 mm macro, f-2.0, which is unsurpassed for portraits. There is no question in my mind that I cannot get as good a result on my Nikon 950, but then, when I think of the hassle, expense, and inconvenience of making conventional photos, I just don't know. I haven't taken a conventional photo in nearly two years. Art
