We are using a new scanner for the first time on the update of this page. The new scans can be identified by the larger white margin round the view and some are not quite as sharp as the old scans. They are however very much faster for us to scan and upload and for you to download so it will mean we will get more views to the site quicker. Please assume views are sharper than the scans. Thanks.
