    Re: "Super Bright" Ground Glass

    Shin!

    It's very good to hear from you again. To slightly hijack a thread, did you make any progress on the idea of 11x14 Mido holders? You may recall there was considerable interest on this...

    Re: Sharpness - an unnatural obsession

    11x14 E6 may be available

    I recently asked a well-known and reputable US dealer about the possibility of getting some 11x14 E100VS from Kodak - this is my preference to Fuji's Provia 100F and Velvia, and you might recall that...

    Printing for ambient light conditions

    Matthew, I've considered something like that before, and when I've needed bright conditions I've sometimes turned on the lightbox (which could probably double as a sunbed!). But that still leaves me...
