    Minolta scan dual IV setup issue

    in The Digital Darkroom: Process, Technique & Printing

    Posted

    I've just received my Minolta Scan Dual IV and I'm having some issue

    installing it. I read a lot before installing anything because I knew

    some people had experienced some issues ... Well I'm facing the same

    issues ... Here is what I did:

     

    - Install the software

    - Reboot

    - Connect the USB cable

    - Connect the power

    - Power on the scanner

    - Close the door

    - Open up Minolta software

     

    At that point it is suppose to set up the scanner (I guess some

    calibration) and then I can insert the tray ... I was able to reach

    one time this point. I was able to scan one picture (lousy result btw)

    but then I rebooted my computer for some reason and now every time I

    try to launch the software, It hangs there. I redo the same step

    (power on with door close, launch the software ...) ...

     

    What am I missing ? I'm pretty pissed off about that scanner right now ...

    Hey Ben, all this gear talk is great, but ... what did you do in Paris ? Where did you go ? What did you enjoy ? How were the people ? The atmosphere ?

     

    I believe this is what we want to know ... ;-)

    Tri-X @ 3200 - Impressed !

    in Black & White Practice

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    I've shot a roll of Tri-X @ 3200 during memorial week-end while

    camping. Camera was a Canonet QL17. I've just developed the film using

    Rodinal 1:50 @ 68F durin 33 minutes with 2 agitations every 5 minutes.

    Here is one picture .. Not the greatest picture but I'm impressed with

    the grain at 3200. I was expecting so much more ! This is definitely a

    good combination ! <br>

    Yet Another Bag Discussion Thread (YABDT)

    in Leica and Rangefinders

    Posted

    Welcome to another great thread about bags for our beloved

    rangefinder. I'm currently using a Domke F5-XB to carry my M6 + Cron

    50 and 35 + bunch of film. I also have an M3 and pretty soon a Bessa L

    + 15mm. I'm going to need another bag if I want to bring another body

    along. I really like my second bag, a Domke F-803, butI have an issue

    with it: It doesn't have a zipper. So what would be my best choice if

    I wanted a bag between the F5-XB and the F-803 with a zipper ?

     

    Thanks !

    Neopan 400 @ 3200 + Rodinal 1:50. Time ?

    in Black & White Practice

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    I have a roll of neopan 400 pushed at 3200. I am planning to develop

    this film with Rodinal 1:50. The time for Neopan 400@400 with rodinal

    1:50 is 11min. I was thinking of going to 28 minutes for my roll @3200

    with agitation every 5 minutes ... What do you guys think ? Anybody

    with experience for that combination ?

     

    Thanks !

    I don't agree Olivier. Leica should still continue to come up with new product. The M7 and MP are 2 fine products and I'm sure a lot of people would buy them if they were not so damn expensive ! At $1500-$2000 they would sell like hot cake ! People would spend the extra cash (versus a second hand M6).
