<p>I just broke my magical Norita. So I'm wondering what your recommendations are concerning an alternative to this camera, since it's hard to find a new one.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of a camera which has the same magical lens available. The Pentacon Six and Pentax 67 are ok but don't have that extra quality the Norita lens does. I have been thinking about the Rollei 6008 which have some fast lenses. The Hassy also have an 2.0 lens. </p>
<p>Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>I use an Epson 4700 flatbed and I think it gives me great results. Perhaps if you are to do large printing you might want something else. But for smaller stuff and for web it's sufficient. All my images are scanned with that on http://www.flickriver.com/photos/vonschnauzer/popular-interesting/</p>
<p>With b&w it can be a good idea to scan with "film positive" setting and then invert. It has a higher sensitivity when scanning in that mode.</p>

<p>I have expensive digital stuff and the lenses with it, for 35 mm. I also have 35 mm film cameras. However, nothing brings me more joy than working with MF and that's mainly because of the properties of the lenses available. My MF lenses brings another dimension to my images than does the ones for my digital. I'll make a note here and say that I currently favor shooting wide open, with a minimal DOF. Some MF have amazing bokeh and curious properties which, for example, a Canon 85/1.2 doesn't have for my 35mm. And stepping down on the aperture on my MF brings tack sharp stuff with a wonderful tonality.</p>
<p>Also, having the larger neg is very nice and I think contrary to a post above me that you won't need that good of a scanner to enjoy a 6x7 neg compared to a 35 mm neg. I scan with a simple Epson 4700.</p>

and here is another example of what you can't get with a 35mm lens: (my flickr account)<br>

The image as seen looks fine. If you mean to enlarge it, from the size you have posted it in here, it sure would get pixelated. But you must know this since you are in digital photography. Do you mean it is pixelated even when viewed in original (large) size? And not when resized then zoomed or just viewed in other than its native size?

Great shots - I love "Infinity, Dune, Death Valley, California 1999"!
But your site does not meet your level of photography and I think your photos could be packaged a lot better that this.
<p>
If you're building the site yourself, get the Web Design Index books to get inspiration, buy photo magazines and see their site tips. If you can afford it - hire a well known web designer, because web design is really art too. <p>
Best of work!

I have a SAMSUNG SyncMaster 243T, 24 inch monitor which I can pivot for Portrait works. Google on "review SyncMaster 243T" and you will find loads of stuff.
Today, LCDs are a better choice than CRT and I wouldn't for anything go back to my 21" CRT.
Recommend an alternative to Norita 66, 80/f2.0

<p>Thanks Gary! Will look into the Bronica S. I actually had tickets for An Education but missed out :(. Will catch it on DVD.<br>
Paul - I just had it repaired in the US and this was my first roll since and I slipped and banged it on a rock. The winding mechanism is broke. But since they are so hard to find I figured I'd look into other options. </p>
<p>Thanks again! <br>
