I've done some scans of my half frame slides (Epson Perfection 4180
Photo), and with a little practice I've gotten some good results.

But, I noticed you mentioned the lab in North Dakota, and that caught my
eye because I'm thinking you're referring to the place in Bismarck that
has the website:

Photo Express? I'm trying to finish a roll of Tri-X in my Olympus Pen
to send to them as a test. I'm curious about your experience with them
and if you're happy with their work.
I'd be interested in any comments you have about them, (as I prepare to
send them film).

Thanks!

Jim
