Not too shabby for a couple hundred dollar scanner, a seventy dollar camera, and a two-bit photographer.
Thanks for the info Mike, I'll look into that scanner.

I have a bag full of 35mm and 120 film in the fridge just begging to be used. First day off with decent weather I'll be out shooting some Velvia! I really want to use the Yashica Mat again. It is fun and easy to use and definitely earns a few stares and some comments from folks.

Are you able to do long exposures with the Velvia or does it suffer from reciprocity problems?

When I first viewed the pictures you posted I wasn't impressed. However, viewing them at home they look much better! I now know that problem; my work computer is crap!
