  1. New Epson scanners : V-750M Pro & V-700 Photo

    This is excellent news. I was just about ready to break down and order a 4990 Pro or 1800f depending on what I could get the best deal on. Looks like I ought to wait just a little bit longer.

    4x5" B&W film preferences

    Freestyle sells their own brand (Arista, Arista.edu, etc.) along with the name brand that's the same material. They used to do it with Ilford.

    I'm about to place an order for some Arista.edu Ultra 100 or 200 in 4x5. It's also Fomapan. For reference - 20 sheets of TMax readyload is $45.95, 100 sheets of Arista.edu Ultra 100 is $29.99.

    Littman?

    The 110A works if you want to do a Polaroid pack-film conversion (3x4 negs), but if you want a 4x5 it has to be the 110B I think (or else the back blocks one of the viewfinders).

    Littman?

    $1200 to convert a 4 Designs 110B (that usually sell for $200-250)? Yeesh.

    I don't find the legal/patent language in either description, it seems Littman has done some judicious editing.

    Inkjet and Hunington Witherill

    If the only thing that matters is the result, then shouldn't the pages from a book be just as valuable and collectable as an "original print"? I understand the logic behind this sentiment, but it...

    New Monorail, a Toho rip-off ?

    I e-mailed Badger about their clone right after it was discontinued (Jan. or Feb.), they said there were problems with the supplier. I'm guessing that they were getting them from S-H, or S-H is using...
  12. Ending Film camera sales + print fading challenge

    It seems to me that, even more than the old "CANON VS. NIKON" standbys, this argument (between Jorge and tim/paul) can never be solved because it isn't really about photography or photographic...

    35mm film disappearing?

    Film won't disappear. You'll always be able to buy it from a source outside 'the west' (be it China, Eastern Europe, Africa down the road) or from a fine-art supplier. More difficult than hitting up...

    Shen Hao Phillips clone...

    It seems odd that Badger is carrying this new 8x10, but not the well-received teak/steel model that comes in at the same price. Or has Shen-Hao discontinued that one?
  15. Why it may good that photography isn't a fine art

    I think that a number of people are misreading Berger's statements and then placing far too much emphasis on the opening page in that context. He's not attacking photography as 'not-art' - he sets it...

    4x5 field choice Ebony or Shen Hao?

    Backtracking a bit - Wouldn't the equivalent (in features, size, design if not money) of the HZX45 be the RW45 rather than the SVT?
