Hi Tina, Ken and all. Sorry again for the late reply!

Nice result. As already commented, a macro digicam used for scanning can't
be left unattended, thus unsuitable for large batchs -- although for medium
sized ones could be interesting.

Only if the M9 (or any rangefinder, for that matter) was suitable for
*macro*... :-(
Kodachrome has been always hard to scan, maybe because of its "weird"
spectral density curves -- not to be confused with the spectral
_sensitivity_ curves. In other words, many scanners (and cameras) do not
"see" it the way the human eyes do. However, the OM-D E-M5 looks promising
in this regard, but I have to experiment more... ;-)
That DMR looks _very_ interesting, though... especially if the sensor has
similar image characteristics as those on the M8 ;-)
Cheers,
