Well. based on all of this feedback, I upgraded my Epson SE to Ai Studio. As as Christmas special Lasersoft also upgraded the SE-Plus software on my Nikon LS 2000 to Ai, in the same deal! What a...
I appreciate the information.
Does anyone know if Silverfast SE plus or AI offers the 16 bit grayscale option? On my SE version 6.5, 16 bit grayscale is not an option as it is dimmed out and...
Thanks, I'll report back after I use the Portra 400. Steve
Hi,
I have an Epson 4990 scanner running Silverfast SE on a Windows XP computer. I tried scanning my first TMax 100 negatives and can't find any explanation of the Scan Type options drop down...
Hello,
I plan to do a series of 4 x 5 photos of the Cave Creek, Arizona cowboys that I have become friends with. These are very colorful and wonderful guys, but I'll only get one chance with...
I thought the same thing until I started using the BTZS system. Now I get exact exposure and even depth of field information and associated development times that really work. I use the tube...
I get great results with Tmax RS at 1 to 9 using the BTZS system and tube development.
I still am using an old basic Plam III and it runs fast and fine. I know that that Fred and Dennis at the View Camera Store use and recommended the basic Palm Z22 when I was out there a few months...
Thanks for posting the diagram page!
Thanks for the sources. I already spoke to a few of them and they all look good! Steve
Can anyone recommend a traditional Black and White printer? After a few year layoff, I am again taking and processing my own 4 x 5 Tmax 100 negatives using the BTZS system. I now want to crop and...
Have you stretched that baby all the way out yet?
Yes, With my Arca Swiss B-1 head and my Canham DLC 45. It is much higher than I need! I also bought the spiked legs and the hard rubber feet...
I just received my Feisol CT- 3471 tripod. It arrived in three days! This is a great value.
Thanks for the information! This web site is a great resource. Steve
Hi, I have two questions. How much better is the Fischer Dry mount system than the Wet Mount sytem? If I use the wet mount scanning on my Epson 4990, does anyone know how to clean up the negative...
Hi, I just purchased a used Minolta Autometer lllF. Can anyone tell me where to download the manual? Or if you have a .pdf copy that you can e-mail me, better yet! I need to know how to get EV...
I have just started processing my B & W film ( Acros 100 and TMax 100 ) using the BTZS system. The ES suggested for paper printing in suggested at 1.0 to 1.15 depending on the paper used. A longer...
I suggest that you consider the BTZS tubes which are distributed by The View Camera Store. I just switched from a JOBO and they have many advantages and no negatives. Steve
Thanks to all of you. I will be joining the Feisol club. Steve
Does anyone have any experience with the Feisol CT-3471 tripod. It has a 60 inch maximum height, spiked feet and center column option? I also am looking at the CT-3442. I'm 6'1" and would need the...
I just had my Macchu Pucchi photo from a 4 x 5 transparency printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper and now need to mount and frame it. I have seen some photos mounted on a back that shows that...
I found a great Quadtone RIP User guide .pdf download on the Quadtone web site. It looks like a good start for anyone wanting more understanding of a RIP.
What is a RIP? I keep seeing references to them in this fourm thread. Is this a reference to a software program that is used to run a printer? Is it a photoshop plug in? How do you use it?...
Thanks all. I won't clean it now, but will now know how to in the future. This is a wonderful forum! Steve
I just received my new refurbished Epson 4990 from Epson. I cleaned the top of the glass with lens cleaner. However, when the scanner is on and the light is shining from below, there appears to be...
I started this question thread. There is a lot here to study and digest and it has been very helpful. I am getting pretty good 4 x 5 B&W negatives using the Steve Simmons Film Speed and Developing...
Thanks Chris,
I plan to try your suggestions soon. Also, the Hutcheson web site had some wonderful scanning resources and articles. I appreciate your input. Steve
In the excellent January/February 2006, View Camera Magazine article, A Simple Way to Test For Film Speed and Developing Time, Steve Simmons refers to a final step of building a scanning curve. This...
Can anyone tell me how much movement I can get with the Discovery with a 90mm lens? With my Wista 45, I really am stretching the bellows to do much rise or swing. Is the Canham 45 dlc better in...
Thanks for your replies. Yes, I really don't want to use a bag bellows. I recently carried my Wista 45 all over Peru in August and have found that actually taking photos out in the field with no...
I currently have a Wista 45 camera, but find the front movements rather limited with a 90mm lens, without really stressing the bellows. Can anyone tell me if the Linhoff Technika, Canham 45 dlc or...
I am testing my film speed for Fuji Acros 100 before an overseas trip. My local dealer suggests asa 64 for this fiilm. I have exposed two sheets one at asa 64 and and another at 80 using zone I...
The 100 Tmax Readyload 4 x 5 film packet jammed tight in my New Fuji Quickload film holder. I would not even slide out to allow me to take a photo. One I opened a Acros 100 Quickload and a 100Tmax ...
I'd vote on the satin snow. For the price, you can't beat it! Also, Dave Parker has great customer service. I need a new screen for an upcoming trip and he had one to me in a week!
