Anyone else noticed that the 35mm equivalence value displayed by ipernity for Canon APS-C dSLRs (300d, 350d, 400d, 10d, 20d, 30d, 40d) appears to have the wrong multiplier.

The crop multiplier for these models is 1.6x, yet the values shown imply a multiplier of 4.Y x  where Y varies considerably.

It's not really a big deal, just odd.

So with much fanfare (well ok, not that much really) I hereby release my new Portfolio into the wild.

I've still yet to decide on a proper name (suggestions welcome) which will dictate the eventual domain it lives on, but for now, here it is.

All comments welcome.

Well after six years our aging HP flatbed scanner is rapidly showing signs of imminent death.

Thus I'll likely be in the market for a new one quite shortly. So, what I'm after is recommendations :)

Here's what I need:

• A4 sized document scan in a flatbed configuration

• 35mm and maybe larger negative scanning abilities

• High resolution for the negative scanner, preferrably multipass, 24 bit colour minimum

• Must work with Windows AND Mac (OS X 10.4)

Added bonuses would be:

• Works in Linux

• Networkable  (this would be very very handy)

• Automatic document feeder

• Duplex scanning

Those last two are just pure icing, it'd be nice, but I'm not going to pay a small fortune that could be better spent on camera gear for them :)
