Hi Bob,
Can you please let me know the date of the serial below:

Just finished setting up my darkroom. I'll have to set up more stable table for the enlarger.

I actually used it for 35mm on many occasion until I got the Plustek which is faster and easier with that type of film.
Here is a photo to show how to use the 35mm Mask (then wait for the preview...
the reason I don't use 35mm with the iQsmart is because it's time consuming to prepare and mount the negatives on the masks (it takes full roll if you like). the plustek is much faster in that...
I noticed the Plustek 120 (Like my previous Coolscan and Minolta 5400 before) scans are sharpened and it introduce noise (Digital noise) by default. Plus, the Plustek was down-scaled by PS to meet...
I actually found the iQsmart deliver smoother image (still sharp) than the other scanners I used (Coolscan 4000, Minolta 5400 and plustek 120)
I did small comparison with the Plustek 120 on Provia...

Like the ones comes with the planar and xenotar (135mm), are they the same size as Copal 0 or different?
Where to get the linhof size board of its size if different (S.K. Grims)?
The plustek is really good

I actually pressed few for few minutes and let them cool for awhile and it's flat enough without having to cool it under wight :)
Thanks a lot for all your feedback.
First try looks very good (very tiny curl at two corners) but manageable. Will extend the time little more next try.
Thanks again to all of you.
Thanks all for the feedback.
I just did one dirty (Exposure test Print) of Foma FB paper sandwich between 2 museum board that my sister has. I'll let it cool down and see if it flat or not (I did it...
now does this release board goes in direct contact with the paper or just direct to the hot (above and lower press plates)? I just want to straight the curly fb prints.
I got one locally and was wondering if regular foam board is good to sandwich the print in the press mount?
or is there any different type of boards that is more suitable?
Regards,
Mohammed

Dear Sandy,
It worked. I only added .tif or .tiff to the files and every software I tried found the photos.
Thanks.
Sorry, I use Creo iQsmart2 and oxygen 2.6.4
I scan with tiff files and adobe RGB Color Space and only photoshop CS and Apple Aperture can import them but lightroom and C1...etc. will not recognize it! Do anyone have an explanation for this...
I searched hard to find this one at exceptional price! Wish you can find one too :)
My macro nikkor 210mm shutter is missed up (local repairman screwed it up) and I was thinking to replace it with my nikkor-w 210mm f5.6 shutter (both are black rim copal 1 shutter). it should work,...
It was listed on ebay. I still don't know if it is the real deal or just a box full of crap :)
I bought it after ABC of Denmark told me they don't have one and it was difficult to find one. Then,...
I'm in Saudi Arabia! I received it from the US and shipping was not that expensive! And I haven't opened it yet! I hope it's fine though
Anyway, I'm still thinking as I might purchase a scanmate...
I'll post one (scanmate drum mount station) on the classified soon...I bought it few month back but never opened!
Dears,
I usually I scan my My B&W as Grey Scale Gamma out put profile and had been working with Apple Aperture Without a problem. Now I'm trying to use one of the mentioned softwares on the title...
I don't think it will run passed snow leopard! You have to have older OS (snow leopard or older)
Is there one or any of the other cheaper choice would fit perfectly?
Dear All,
As always, plenty of information and great educational posts.
I'll probably try to find a true Macro Lens (120mm Or 180mm) to use with Sinar F1 "I have plenty of rail extensions that...
I have the g-claron 150mm but for my setup is a bit dim and hard to focus!
I meant by 210mm, regular 210mm like the nikkor-w not a macro 210mm! My fault as I didn't make it clear "kids are...
Sorry, I mean 1:3 and 1:2!!
Or will a 210mm f5.6 should deliver the goods as I'm planing to do with 6x9 back an occasionally 4x5.
I'm looking for 3:1 and extremely rare 2:1 mostly with medium format back "flowers under...
From Ryan newton.
Second Try is much better and better controlled oil on Glass... Mainly I see smoother image and not sharper, which is also good as enlarging 35mm film was problematic of Portra 400 for me. Even with...
Dear sandy,
I really hope so, I just hated the mess it created. I'll try later with less film (1-2 frames of 6x6)
I just did my first fluid scan and it was disaster. If someone has tips to success in fluid scanning, please share them here.
I just received the oil mounting station. WOW that thing is huge metal piece of art :) :)
I need to find a solution regarding place it above a light table as my small light table won't stand this...
I couldn't edit the previous post. To be fair, Ryan did ship it and It's in Saudi Now and could arrive very soon (I just received the Tracking number by e-mail from him) and to compensate for the...
+1 on that!!!
I paid for the oil mounting station on September 1st and it isn't shipped yet!
His work is top class but still if his business is so well, he should let someone handles shipping and...
Dear Sandy,
Thank you. I actually use Masks now as I don't want to risk rescanning (Even though I actually enjoy scanning) but time is really tight as work and family prevent me from really enjoy...
