    Sanning medium format with flatbed

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    I'm scanning for the first time some medium format negatives on my

    Epson 4490 flatbed. If I use the guide provided, I can scan 2 negs at

    a time but if I just lay the negatives on the glass, I can scan 3 (I

    have strips of 3 negatives). What is the advantages of using the

    provided guide ? Looks like it does some kind of autoexposure but I

    guess I can do that in photoshop after the scan. So is there really

    benefits ? Do you think the negs is that much flatter on the glass

    with the guide ?

     

    Thanks for your help !

    Rollei 35S or 35SE?

    in Classic Manual Film Cameras

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    As far as i understand, the only difference between the 35S and 35Se

    is that the 35S use a needle for the metering (top of the camera I

    believe) while the SE use LED inside the viewfinder. I really like th

    fact that the meter is on the top of the camera. You can meter, set

    your sppeed, aperture, bring camera to eye level and shoot !! But I

    really like LED cause they're more precise in my mind ...

     

    What would you recommend ?? Could you share your experience with these

    camera ?

     

    Thanks !

    NeatImage 5.0 for film user

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Hi there,<br>

    <br>

    I've just tried NeatImage 5.0 and I am very impressed by this piece of

    software ! I've tried with some Ilford 3200 and it just blew me away

    during my 10 min test ! I've written a small write-up on my experience

    <b><a href=http://www.400iso.com/?page_id=91">HERE</a></b> .. I

    thought it could be useful to some people ...<br><br>

     

    Is anybody else using neatimage as part of their workflow ?<br><br>

    I'm with some of the member here ... Al, most of the shots your're showing us are either self portrait or picture of you taken by other people. Would it be possible to see something else from the 60's and 70's .. ? I'm not saying these pictures are not good but I think I'm at a point where I'm fed up with them ...

    Canon 50mm f/1.2 report

    in Leica and Rangefinders

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    I'm the new owner of a Canon f/1.2 LTM lens. I'm using a voigtlander

    adapter to use it on my MP and M3. I've written an initial report on

    my website if you're interested in this lens. I had trouble finding

    information on this lens and I thought it might help other to get an

    opinion on it.

     

    You can find the report <a

    Camera insurance - Appraisal

    in Leica and Rangefinders

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    As I acquire more gear, I'd like to insure them. I already have a home

    owner insurance which cover against bruglary, fire etc. but it's not

    going to cover my Leica if I drop them on the ground or things like

    that. I can schedule individual item but they're asking for a receipt

    or an appraisal of the item ... I don't have all the receipt handy.

    Were do you think I can get my camera appraised ? Would a camera shop

    do it a no cost ? Is there a better option for me to insure my gear

    than scheduling them ?

     

    Thanks for your advices.

     

    Fred
