[rollei_list] Re: OT Re: Scanning 120 film

Dear Jim,

I really would like to see the pictures you scanned from your SL66.
I just bought a SL66E, and am very curious.

Dear friends,

If someone has a gallery with scanned images, could it be linked? It would
be very interesting to see the result.

Thanks a lot for all the posts.
And a merry Christmas to you all!
