You are right, Slobodan.  Most of what interests me, therefore most of what 
I shoot, is very marginal.  I love shooting where the light is a 
challenge.  I'm not interested in controlling the light but in capturing 
what happens in the light that is there.  In adobe houses with no windows, 
the light is almost nonexistent, so I'm using high speed film with 
Noctiluxes or other wide open lenses and trying to see what is happening 
with no light at all.  Even the local "Meals on Wheels" deliveries are 
usually in very dark houses.  That is when I need the multi-sample scanning 
on the LS4000 to help with the shadows.  On the other hand, when I am 
scanning photographs for most of my stock agencies, I don't need the 
multi-sampling.
