I'd suggest getting Vuescan and using multisampling.  I'd also suggest a Betterscanning holder.  http://www.betterscanning.com These are inexpensive items that will increase your scan quality.

Silverfast is tied to one scanner, Vuescan works with a multitude.  It also enable multi sampling (for increased Dmax) and hardware file reduction (same).  Silverfast may be good but it's expensive...

I use the "free Memory" app to help with this.  When memory reaches a level you set it frees the inactive memory.  There is a pause in the action but a small price to pay.

Just got it and testing it.  My main concern is corner sharpness - it is very very good.  Heavy and big though - but if you're used to L lenses that shouldn't be a concern.  For street use I'd...

Either of these lenses are very good, light and unintimidating.  They are also quite inexpensive.

Think about it - think about what you see.

It's nice that blind people contribute to the comment page - heartwarming.

According to blackmagic a 64gb card holds 50 minutes of raw footage - using my math skills I think you're off by a factor of 4.

You might want to consider an epson 4990 and with the money you save invest in the following things: vue scan software (http://www.hamrick.com) and a custom film holder...

Apple is well known for this both for software and hardware(see final cut pro etc.).  Appleworks was discontinued many many years ago, as was pages - the openoffice suggestion is good - you could...

Almost any flat bed will give you a very good scan of reflective media.  I found an old umax in the trash and for kicks cleaned it up and did a scan - slow but very detailed.   As to the...

I only use icon view when I want to make sure I drop something in the right folder or onto a droplet - otherwise I'd look at the other view types for acessing folders and subfolders.

Too bad about the 35 f2 - small and sharp.

Light and small also = olympus zuiko.

A tilt and shift can do other things as well:

A photo of a box from the front - but also showing sides and top for dimensionality - tilt and shift.

Less filling

Really?

You might be responding to my post.  The 10 - 22 is very good corner to corner at 10mm (16mm equiv)- the zooms you mention are not.  I also had a budget - the tokina 17 rmc used at f11 hyperfocal...

If money is no object you're list is good.  I will say that the canon zooms lose resolution at the corners when used at the wide angle limits - I couldn't work with that.

Not sure how they do it in europe - I had the spectraview software i used with a previous monitor and it recognized my new one.  I do recommend it though;  I think it's more accurate than...
