<p>San Francisco Photo Center and Rayko Photo. They both rent darkroom space. Rayko is $8 hour.<br>
You can google both of them.</p>

<p>vuescan, because it is better then Nikon software.</p>

<p>The cheapest way is to use Vuescan software. Vuescan will let you choose the framing of the image. I use the FH-869G holder for everything from 35mm to 120. It is the only holder I use with my LS9000.<br /> Here is an example of two 35mm frames, 35x75mm, done using Vuescan and the FH-869G.<br /> I learned a long time ago not to unwrap Nikon software.<br /> As you can see XPan will not be a problem.<br>
Oh, by the way, I don't use any masks with Vuescan. </p><div>

<p>It is from William Eggleston's first book, "William Eggleston's Guide" published and shown at MOMA in New York in 1976. The title is "Huntsville Alabama" - 1971. The original print is a 20" x 15 7/8" dye transfer.</p>

<p>My M6 Classic (1984) baseplate works on my M7 and visa versa. The baseplates look slightly different but work fine either way.</p>

<p>You can also convert RAW to TIFF or JPG from iPhoto.</p>

<p><em>i don't believe there is such a thing as an "FX" lens</em><br>
Nikon thinks so, check their website. </p>

<p>Sounds like you didn't add your printer in the "Print & Fax" section of "System Preferences", OSX 10.5.x Leopard, I forgot where to go for OSX 10.4.x Tiger.<br>
Remember in your case you have to add two printers, one for Epson and another for Quadtone.<br>
The Quadtone printer will have to be labeled Quad2400, while the Epson will be EPSON Stylus Photo 2400 or something similar by default.</p>

<p>The driver - v3.09 - for the 2200 is on the Leopard install disk in the "Optional installs".<br>
BTW, the driver for Tiger and Leopard is the same one.</p><div>

<p>If in fact the M4 is black enamel and not black chrome then $1900 is a steal. Collectors in Japan will pay double that price in a heartbeat. But it has to have the black enamel serial number. What they do is rebuild and repaint and pass them off as new/mint. The proof is the serial number. I sold a beater M4 black enamel with the proper serial number to a collector in Japan five years ago for $2700! The camera even had a M6 rewind lever but it didn't matter, the SN was all the collector wanted. <br>
BTW, what is the serial number? Also who is selling it, if it is truly Black Paint and not Black chrome I will buy it in New York minute? </p>

I just used some 54 with an expiration date of 1993 that was stored in the refrigerator,not freezer, and it worked fine.<P><div></div>

The latest driver, v3.09, for the 4000 is also on the Leopard Install Disk 1 in the "Optional Installs" folder. Unfortunately
you have to install all the Epson drivers to get it but the rest can be removed after the fact.<P>I have been using it with a
4000 and OSX10.5 without a problem, no difference in 10.5 then 10.4 as far as I can tell. There are no features that I seem
to miss but then again I only use black inks in the 4000 so color is not an issue.

<I>And most of those who call themselves artists, are not.</I><br> And who appointed you the one who decides who is an
artist and who isn't? Some nerve! The only one that you can speak for is yourself and no one else. Only the person who
created the work can decide whether he/she is an artist or not. Others can certainly give an opinion that the work created is lousy,
poor or terrible art and the person that created it is a bad artist but no one can tell someone that they are not an artist.
<P>As far as photography, or any other medium for that matter goes, is not whether it can be art, but in
confusing art with finished product or the technique employed. It is the artist’s psychological attitude toward the process of
creation alone that signifies the artistic validity of the act that produces the “work of art”.<P>"Art is nothing tangible. We cannot call a
painting “art”. As the words “artifact” and “artificial” imply, the thing made is a work of art, made by art, but not itself art; the art remains in
the artist and is the knowledge by which things are made. What is made according to the art is correct; what one makes as one likes may
very well be awkward. We must not confuse taste with judgement, or loveliness with beauty, for as Augustine says, some people like
deformities.".............<I>.Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy</I>

<I>"Do we exclude those who still use glass plates, silver nitrate and egg white or tin plates and mercury?</I><P>Those
are all films so no problem there. Emulsion on a glass plate is a "film", the glass is just a thicker then cellulose acetate, but still a
film.<P>But <I>..the term "analog" is used instead of
film for its pejorative effect.</I> That pretty much sums it up.<P>BTW, I'm glad no one used "analogue", starting to see that used here
and
there.

You can get a FW800 to FW400 cable for less then $20, can't be any easier or cheaper then that.
-
The only model that Apple dropped FW on was the MacBook, the new MacBook Pro has FW 800. You should go to
Apple's site and check the specs.

Hey Bob, the topic is ".....digitizing 120 negs and chromes....". How does one digitize negs in a wet darkroom?

You have to save it as a TIFF first and then go back and save it again as a JPEG.

<I>"I don't think M6's are 25 years old, more like less than 20"</I><P>The first M6 came out in 1984, 24 years ago. I still
have mine.
