cenelsonfoto Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to think "small". I have two of these at 14" and 2 at 20" for print output and all look just fine. I had to struggle with some flower work I did last Spring using a borrowed N90s, just couldnt get above 8x10 without blowing out. I can't wait until April comes around.

jsbc Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 HI CE: Nice photos! I esp like the skin tones. How do you scan them? I have an Epson 3200 and it is impossible to get the quality of the chromes across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenelsonfoto Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Uh, I just lay them in the template on my Epson 3170 and go from there. BTW, I hate the 120 template for the Epson. Invariably you get forced cropping of the image on the sides, just too tight. Also, the Epson software is a real booger, yet I managing to get decent results.

richard_oleson Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 What naysayers? I don't think we'll live long enough to find a better photographic investment than a Ciroflex..... Nice shots! :)= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsbc Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Thanks CE!. I use Vuescan which is easier but something wrong with the color. Maybe the Epson software is more attuned to Fuji negatives. Anyway, aside from the camera, I think there's something reassuring about the square format in your photos, and the selective focus of the medium format really stands out.

cenelsonfoto Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Cheung - I've noticed the Epson will sometimes fubar a frame or two when trying to scan 35mm negs. I can't figure out how or why this occurs, but think it might be due to some light leaking around the frames? Not sure. It sounds like you are shooting slides though, yes? Are you getting green- or yellow-ish images when you preview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_m Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Nice photos. I can only assume you were lucky enough to find a good example that is in perfect adjustment. With old cameras, I think there is a lot of luck involved - unless you are willing to have the camera professionally cleaned and adjusted - which hardly makes economic sense with a camera as cheap as the Ciroflex, unless you can do it yourself.
