Bob, have you actually seen any prints made from slides on the 370?  I'd be
happy to send you some for your evaluation.  There is no problem with
contrast whatsoever. I disagree that having slides made from negs after
getting prints is a better strategy.

I just remounted a number of Nimslo slides as pairs in 2 X 2 mounts and had
them scanned and printed on the Fuji machine.  I've been getting nice
results shooting ProviaF 100 in the Nimslo and having it pushed one stop in
processing.   These prints are the best I've ever gotten out of my Nimslo.
I also had the 370's scans saved to a CD, so I'm now fine tuning the window
and composition, and will get 4X6 monolithic prints done later in the week.
