<p>Why bother with the packard shutter? You can easily make the exposure using the old "hat trick" method, eg, by holding a hat (or some such) over the lens, removing it quickly and then recovering it. With a bit of practice this should work well, especially with B&W film, which has a wide exposure latitude. . Remember, the packard is not a very accurate shutter in the first place and depends a great deal on your technique. Conversely you could have the lens mounted in a conventional shutter.</p>

<p>Send to Mamiya USA for service.</p>

<p>I'm sure you can find a cheaper way to ship as well.</p>

<p>My lens mount jamed for no apparent reason. I sent it to Mamiya USA and they fixed it, no problem. Suggest you do the same. Very good service and fast turn around. I'll wager all will be good.</p>

<p>What about the distance variable using the D40? I've read that the D40 is limited to relatively close distances. What are those limitations?</p>

<p>I will try this later...<br>

Thanks!</p>

<p>It did not work with an image on the desktop. I copied files to the desktop from G drive, burned at a slower speed onto a CD and it worked. Then I tried again with a DVD, larger files, and it didn't. Previously, this happenned. Sometimes it would work and sometimes not. <br>

When I copy it comes up as an alias. Will that be ok if the original is unavailable? In other words, when I leave the G drive in this location and just have the CD.</p>

<p>Thanks .</p>

<p>Ok I'll try that now.</p>

<p>I can use either. Do yo think that would matter? I can easily switch. <br>

When I spoke with Apple they said it could be a problem with the lazer, but really they didn't know.</p>

 

<p>I am up to the last step of a long project -- and now have on my external G Drive my scanned negs & images in folders ready to be backed up on CD's and DVD's, leaving the G Drive in this alternate location. I can copy the images from Bridge to CD/DVD which is on the desktop but after about a minute an error message comes up the the operation could not be completed because of an error code Ox8002006D. Looking in google this error code was common, last entry 2007, but no solutions. Spoke with apple techs who are unfamiliar with photoshop and have never heard of bridge, and have never heard of this problem.<br>

Any experience /help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>

Ok. Image included.

I'm using an Epson Perfection 3200 to scan darkroom prints using Vue Scan software. Scanning at a low res 400 -

as doing higher one - even 800 - takes too long and I have many to do primarily for a website but might want to

print some as well in the future.

Now, though, I am experiencing severe banding, and am not sure why. Tried to include a sample banded image in

this post but was unable. Is there a way to do that? Could it just be time for a new scanner? This one, though

not used that much until now, is several years old. My thanks for any assistance.<div></div>

Thank you so much. I will try your suggestions, but I'm also thinking that homepage apple does something to the size that

cannot be undone, and rescanning might be my only solution. If any work, I'll let you know.

I have darkroom printed images that were scanned to be put into mac homepage site. Now, though, I need these 72

dpi images to be sized 640X480 but when I do that under image size in ps they are too pixilated to use. Is there

any way to enlarge these other than re-scanning them which is not possible at the moment. Thanks.
