    Sharing drum scan quality

    Since I know that some members in this forum are interested in high quality scans I though I'd share the results from recent works I had scanned by Castor Scan in Italy.

  5. Re: Current lab recommendation in Tokyo for 8x10 ?

    Thanks Oren,
    I was at their Kanda store today. They only develop in one location (not there) and have a 3 day turnover which is too long for me.

  8. Re: Anyone switched sides of current Arca-Swiss Orbix DIY?

    Yes, I will contact Martin at Arca and I'm sure they can change that. I asked here cause I thought maybe someone has done it by themselves before.

  13. Re: Anyone carry an 8x10" Arca in ThinkTank Airport Takeoff bag?

    Thanks Daniel.
    The idea of larger wheel I do like. I think I'll give MagnaCart a try and see what it's like.

    BTW, what gave you the impression I was living in NY ? :-)

    Thanks Daniel, but it kind of misses the point since I can't use this bag as a backpack when needed, and the cart is pretty bulky.

    First, thank you all for answering.
    You are right about 50cm being the common length as it appears in Arca's catalog, but I've seen it with 40cm
