Thanks a lot, I hope you find them useful. Yes the 203 is a terrific camera I think, very capable and fun to use.

Good luck with the wet mounting.

Well I've always just bought what's sold at a normal arts and crafts store in town. It's definitely nothing special and very inexpensive. I think the one I used most recently was 10 microns thick of...

I have wet mounted a lot on my Coolscan 9000 using an Image Mechanics wet mount tray and Kami's scanning liquid. That liquid evaporates very quickly so using it without a cover material would not...

Hello Dan

Thank you very much for taking the time to describing the two models in such detail, I appreciate it a lot. I'm looking for 4x5 for slightly more portability. The D seems interesting...

Hello everyone

I'm shooting small and medium format since a long time but have, I confess, been curious over the years about 4x5.

I saw a Pressman C on eBay and since the seller is local to me...

I can't add to the OP's question but found the info on the Aardenburg site regarding the SC P400 interesting. I wonder how much more cost-effective it will be.

Can these printers print photos well?

Thank you for the replies Mohammed. I would be very interested in seeing a comparison of 120 and 135, even without downscaling of the Plustek so I can try various settings in CS6.

When I wet mount...

Gunter, Mohammed, thank you very much for your very helpful replies.

I must admit I don't know where the calibration plate is on the 9000, but I normally don't have any problems with scans so...

137423 Crop dry-mounted 2000dpi

I include downrez'd files because I've read that this would reduce the impression of...

Hello Gunter, thank you very much for replying, I hoped you would reply actually.

I should say that I had seen the collaborative comparison, which is instructive but as you say doesn't contain a...

I'd be interested in the answers to these questions too.

There's very little online about the iQsmarts. Even Flickr doesn't have many images scanned with them. I'm currently using a Coolscan 9000...

I recently ordered AN and ordinary glass for my coolscan 9000 to the Netherlands without trouble so ordering from the UK should be possible (though import duties etc will apply probably, as it did...

Thanks very much for this information. I was considering the Aztek mylar (from Kami, since I'm in Europe) for use with my Coolscan 9000 and the Image Mechanics tray but 100 EUR plus VAT for 100...

Dan, a lot of us use Vuescan or Silverfast to run the 9000 instead of the Nikon Scan software. I can't speak about Silverfast; all I know it is expensive. The Nikon Scan software is only compatible...

I believe (but will happily be corrected) that the DMAX numbers of the professional flatbed are not inflated like those of the Epson. These are two entirely different machines as I believe many...

Thanks Peter, that's reassuring to hear. I had imagined there would be extensive annual servicing costs. I will send Tim Parkin a message.

Apologies for the delay in writing back. Thank you for the further reply Peter.

I have read Tim Parkin's post and also saw comments in the long high end flatbed scanner thread. It seems an...

Thank you very much for the many and quick replies.

Yes, I am considering the high-end professional scanners, not the consumer models. I think I might be pushing it vis-a-vis my wife even with...

Hello everybody

I'm new to this forum. I am a film photographer who shoots 35mm and soon will go 6x6. I am also seriously considering the larger formats.

I shoot colour neg, black and white and...

Thank Karl, that's a really great idea. I wasn't sure it was possible to make them.

Btw, I saw your 6x17 image of the Golden Gate. Really impressive resolution there.

Hi Chuck
Thanks for your reply. It's an extra accessory but it comes with the scanner I bought used.
cheers

Hi everyone

I have finally managed to find a Coolscan 9000 with the rotating film holder for a decent price, however the film holder doesn't come with the film type masks.

Does anyone know if...

Thanks for the reply Johnny. I didn't know one can select percentages of the max resolution. That's pretty cool.

The 343 seems the best, as you say, provided I can find one within my budget. So...

Thank you very much for your replies.

I just discovered this page with links to the discontinued models, just in case it is of interest.

Hi John

Thank you very much for your reply, it helps immensely!

I liked the idea of the Precision II with autofocus. That is one thing I would want to have. Can I scan 6x6 on that one too? I'm...

Hi everybody

I am looking for a more competent scanner than my Coolscan V (which I find over-emphasises grain and is not great at handling shadows and under-exposed frames).

Over at Leica...

Hi Frank

Is your user folder on a separate drive? If so, and it is corrupted, perhaps that causes the repeating problems?

Just a wild stab in the dark (sorry).
