    First Impression of Epson 4990

    How do you manage NOT TO GET NEWTON RINGS scanning 8x10's?

    Doing your own E-6 processing: Worth it??

    Gudmundur and Ronald,what went wrong with the three bath kits?

    If these could be used, as they are not temperature critacal too, would be a child's play to
    process 8x10's.
