I started my digital career with one of those babies.
I would shoot on E6 (slide) scan and send up to my clients FTP site. I learned about photoshop during that period.
Then the mighty Canon 1Ds came along at 5 grand a pop (body only) never looked back.
Got rid of that in Bangkok in a straight swap for a 5D
Still have my trusty scanner though and still take it ou from under its wraps from time to time.
Full repro quality.
