[rollei_list] Re: Scanning 120 film

This is very well said. There is a great temptation to look for
solutions which are well beyond the artistic or technical requirements
of one's work or client demands. From the point of view of the
individual artist, this often results in a hardware fixation rather
than a creative one, and from a commercial perspective, matching the
output/workflow quality to customer demands is often the difference
between running a successful business and failure...
