A view of Bearhat Mountain and Hidden Lake in Glacier National Park.

This photo was originally taken on 4x5 large format Velvia 50. I’m rediscovering it almost 5 years later. The scene was quite...

Another one taken around the same time. I initially wasn't very impressed with what I had, but upon reviewing the images over a year later, I was able to find a couple I really liked.

Burning Coast I by Michael Schomer, on Flickr

Thanks everyone. I did send an email to Richard, and based on his reply, purchased the P600.

I see it now :)
Thanks!

His email isn't listed on his sites; that I can see. If you have it, would you mind sending it via PM?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I haven't seen a clear and concise process for Canon printers to create digital negatives, although I know some people are successfully doing it. Based on all the...

I’ve been thinking about getting into alternate processes. As a first step, I’m looking into printers. Ive been considering various printers from Canon and Epson, and tentatively settled on the Epson...

If you look at the stars in the center, there is some movement, but not much. It is more noticeable on the dimmer stars. There is definitely coma in the corners, but it is better than my old 20mm...

I took multiple images of the scene, with different ISOs set, up to 6400. I found the files with ISO 400 were the most malleable. Increasing the ISO caused the Kilauea glow to lose detail and blow...

Thank you! I had one image in mind on my recent trip to Hawaii, and am pleased to have captured it. It was a short window between getting dark and the moon rising, and the cloud cover almost ruined...

You might be able to squeeze a bit more out of the image by using multi-exposure, but that introduces it's own set of challenges (image alignment.) Ultimately, the scene above is quite high contrast...

In my opinion, no, it does not introduce errors. I do it to size the image to the “real” resolution of the scanner and to reduce scanner noise in deep shadows. I’ve played around with different...

I think doing a proper IT8 calibration with a target of the same film stock you are scanning is critical to getting good color from the scanner. When I first...

Rainy Day in the Skyway by Michael Schomer, on Flickr

I’ve seen these lines before on scans from my Epson V750. I think they come from reflections.

Also, I saw this the other day which is a similar technique to the third option I mentioned.

I've also struggled with getting decent color from C41 scans. The following are a few of my thoughts on the subject. They represent my opinions and experience and may not necessarily reflect your own...

For what it's worth, it's still in-stock at Adorama (I haven't checked anywhere else.) --Actually, somebody pointed out that Adorama is back ordered--

I hope this isn't true, but it's only a...

Sorry, I didn't see that you already have a turret for your D5500. In that case 421-933 should mount to it fine....

If you want to mount right to the flat lens board (not the turret), you will need Omega part #: 421-903. The Omega D5 and D6 compatible lens mounts will not mount on the D5500 flat lens board, only...

Beautiful images Jeff (Salmo22)!

I have 65mm, 90mm, 150mm, and 300mm. This seems to be a good set for me. The 65mm gets used the least and is the first one to be side aside when weight is an issue. The 90mm and 150mm are used the...

Also, I assume these are the longer accessory bellows mentioned by someone.

Thanks. I may make a lowball offer on that lens cone and see what happens. I'll still need a 39mm mount, but those are easy enough to find.

The focus track that came with my D3 specifically says...

I saw that yesterday and it is on my watch list. That LOOKS like the correct cone, but there are a few things about that posting that give me pause.

- It says it's for a D2/D3 enlarger. However...

All, thanks for the suggestions!

I have checked out http://www.classic-enlargers.com and it is a great resource. I've learned a lot about the D3 from that site. I will post some of my questions...

So, this past weekend I rather impulsively purchased an Omega D3 "Automega" enlarger from Craigslist. It came with a focusing track for a 135mm Rodagon lens and a 1 1/2" lens cone for a 75-80mm...
