Quite economical and very straightforward. Just drop it in the mail, and magically, slides come back. I do find it very difficult to scan slides on my Nikon Coolscan V so that I get the luminance and sharpness I see with my Mamiya loop, but what the hell, it's just another challenge. And I always have the slides to try and try again. Scott EPL wrote: >Tom Westbrook wrote: > > > >>I've never used mailers before. Does the $8.99 include postage both >>ways?
