  2. Re: Betterscanning altternative: Epson V850/800 holders work for V750/700

    I just got mine too, and my initial impressions are basically the same--focus is clearly much improved over the original, flatness still seems to an issue, but still also improved. Taping to the...

    Re: Copyright - Book with writing & photos (US)

    An ISBN is mainly useful for distribution to the trade (it is how booksellers keep track of the book). If your friend is mainly going to sell them direct himself, it probably doesn't matter.
  4. Re: Biginners questions on developing, what do I really need

    Fine, but D-76 is cheap, easy to get, easy to use, and dependable. A perfectly good thing to use to learn the process on your first rolls. There will be no real advantage to doing something more...

  6. Re: Betterscanning altternative: Epson V850/800 holders work for V750/700

    If you read through the comments on this link, it seems that Epson f'd up the holders and had to redo them. So if you've got a bad one you might be able to get a replacement.

    Re: Best Format?

    Also, used film gear is so much cheaper than new that your up-front cash savings might still be more than any later tax benefit. On the other hand, for a business, reliability has to be considered as...
  9. Re: Betterscanning altternative: Epson V850/800 holders work for V750/700

    Did Epson provide film holders that don't actually hold film? That seems to make not sense.

  16. Re: Betterscanning altternative: Epson V850/800 holders work for V750/700

    The Epson web site indicates the holder should accommodate 1 frame up to 6x20, so it looks like 6x17 should be okay.

    I have to admit this is tempting. I use the betterscanning holder, and it...
