All back to normal. No idea how I did it...

I did a reset of both softs as well as a disk utility fixing.

Thanks to all for your help!

@Mendel: I sure hope it is the soft playing tricks. For the moment, I have decided to put the

scanner away for a few days hoping for the best when I'll power it up.

W.

@mendel: Color negs are just fine, no tweaking needed.

@john kelly: preview and scan times are as before. density is also fine but I do get this

horrible magenta tint. No,I did not use the Kodachrome setting.

@roger smith: I'm not sure i follow you here. Can you pls explain?Thanks.

Thanks again to all.

Thanks for th tips. I have tried resetting everything that is possible to reset- no luck so

far...

In the color tab I'm using 'none'.

I also tried to scan a slide on my old Epson 2450 with the vuescan soft and it came

out...perfect! I tried with different settings and it still came out well. I'm afraid the

coolscan is having a little problem.

I will keep on trying too see otherwise I will check what a repair could cost.

Thanks again.

W

No effect. Will download a new copy of vuescan.

I have version 8.4.6.3(vuescan). I'm using the built in scanner profile with media set to

"image". If I change it to slide I get the same result.

I will delete Vuescan to see if it will have an effect on nikonscan.

Thanks

Well, i didn't change anything which kind of worries me. The only change is that I bought a

new macbook with Leopard on it instead of Tiger on my old powerbook. I downloaded a copy

of both softs from the web which installed without problem. In the beginning i thought it was

the new OS causing the probelm but when i hooked up the scanner to powerbook/tiger i

have the same problem. Maybe the scanner is on its last days...

Hi,

I'm using a Coolscan IV since a few years(2002) and it has been working fine with both nikon scan and the

vuescan softs. I'm using the scanner both on MAC OS Tiger and Leopard.

Since a few days, it's impossible to get a scan of a slide( E6) without ending up with a completely

purple/magenta tint on the image. I have always scanned the photos without any corrections in the soft as

I prefer to color correct,levels,etc in PS. The scans would of course not be perfect but they didn't present

the tint. I have of course checked the slides are they are without tint.

I still manage to scan color negs(c41) but slides are a no-go.

Any help/hints would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm having some trouble using my LACIE Photon 19vision with my powerbook G4 1,25ghz.

The screen is connected by DVI but I cannot obtain the resolution of 1280x1024. When I enter this setting

the whole screen starts to jump up and down and the refresh rate is only 60mhz. For the moment I'm

working at a lower resolution (1152x870 at 75mhz) on the Lacie which is a pity.

Normally the powerbook should support this resolution as it can drive the 23inh cinema display which is

bigger.

Any tip/help would be more than appreciated.

Thanks

William

Thanks Godfrey!

Will put the 28mm on the shopping list.

Cheers

Godfrey,

How do you find the 28/1.8?

I'm about to upgrade my 1D Mark I to a 5D. I already have the 50/1.4 and 85 1.8 but

would like something a bit wider. I have the 17-40 but will sell it as we don't get along:-)

Thanks.

Patrick,

Check out Larry Towell. Think he still uses the M with a few other cams.

Cheers,

Thanks Erik for all the advice. I will probably order one very soon.

Cheers,

Erik,

Thanks for the links. Prices does indeed look good. Have you already dealt with these

shops? Do you know if they speak english?

Cheers,

Erik,

Would you mind giving a few links where to get the Minolta scanner in Holland? I live in Belgium where it is impossible to find.

You can contact me off board if you prefer.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'ma about to buy a second hand Hasselblad CF 60mm 3.5 lens which is in very good

condition and lens hood is included.

However I'm not an expert on the price for this item and would therefore appreciate some

advise. The seller is asking for approx EUR 900/ USD 1.100.

Many thanks

Wilhelm

Hi,

Best place for used Leica would be Photo Alpha, Avenue des Celtes, 1040 Brussels.

There's a subway stop about 100-150 meters from the shop called 'Merode'. They usually

have a good collection of 2nd hand cameras and lenses.

Cheers,

Hi Patrick,

I would try to get hold of a 2nd hand Canon 20-35 2.8. It's a really nice lens that you can

usually get for a decent price.

So how's the 20D?

Take care

Wilhelm
