    I got some lantern slides, a few.

    Some of them in my Laplander, MayDay and other collections. One is the multi view painted with 5 or 6 views long.

    Thanks OP for the rundown. I wondered if there was a way to adjust for sharpness in scans. Too bad they can't do it in the software.

    Yes, like that in other areas as well. Can't get young people interested. If they do get them, they don't stick.

    Good luck with that. But we can always hope.

    You can see why digital lacks the film look. The grain of film is organic and variable whereas pixels are not.

    Yes, concur. Photogs copy ideas off each other all the time.

    Too bad not more oral history and photos from meeting Weston. That is the crime...not plagiarism.

    BTW, I use old 8x Agfa loupes. Not the best, but very doable. Have 5 or 6 of them in various bags and around house.

    I lost some hi $$ loupes years ago in a flood and never replaced them.
