Hi,

Thanks again Bob!
I guess those locks are only needed, when one wants to extend the leg spread angle beyond the usual amount, correct?
Thank you very much, Bob Salomon. So that means the legs will only extend one time, as the upper locks control the legs spread angle? Would it be inconvenient having to operate 3 locks for adjusting...

Hi,
I‘ve a chance to buy this Linhof tripod. But it looks odd with the super short center column and long struts. It looks unlike the Linhof Rekordprofil Stativ I have seen before.

Hi,
you could also ask for help on the dts 1045 forum at groups.io
Good luck!

Hi, there is a forum for that scanner on groups.io, it has all the info plus software for download. You will need an apple powermac g3 or g4 (with adaptec scsi card).
There's also a group there for...
Hi,
other than the title might suggest, I actually have a Linhof lenshood for the Technika that attaches to the front standard via two pins that go into holes there.
As I now have a chance to...
Ok it seems the polarizing foil is not part of the backlight, it’s part of the liquid crystal layer in front. That one I have removed. I wonder why people don’t use this things more often for...
So you would say polarized light is of advantage in general? I know it’s been used to reproduce oil paintings with polarized light gels on lamps and filter on the lens to reduce the glare.
Measured with an iphone app it says about 5200 kelvin. That's not too bad.
Hi,
unfortunately I wrecked my old Quato 24" TFT today by trying to change it's panel.
However the TFT is easily separated from the backlight which contains fluorescent bulbs. It produces very...
Hi,
I wonder if you ever got the scanner to work. I'm very interested in that scanner and there is almost no information available on the internet.
Thank you,

Yes it's the back he is using. But my question was, if they are using the x-ray detector's cmos too.
p
In the above mentioned document, it is stated that they use a cmos sensor that is being used in x-ray detectors. Don't know about the fuji, but there are digital x-ray detectors consisting of a...
do you think, this is the same technology that Largesense is using?

hi,
I'm curious if this is a software issue, the scanmate not being able to deliver the same dmax in 16bit as in 8bit?

so, no news from photokina?

Hi,
thanks for your concerns. But I attached a strong base plate that covers the whole bottom part to the camera (you can't see it in my poor photograph). Inside this plate I put new tripod...
Thanks very much for your answers!
that's about what I was searching for. Expensive. But rightnow I am thinking about using a stronger head, maybe the Gitzo PL.5 could handle it.

pjotr
ok,
to make it more clear. Here is an image of the camera.
What would you do, to mount it sideways on the tripodhead,
for vertical composition?
thanks,

hi,
here I have an old german plate camera that I modified to accept an 8x10 back.
Because the new back is larger, it can only be used in horizontal orientation. To shoot vertical, I have to tilt...

hi,
thank you so far. I'm pretty sure it was a real drum scanner not an imacon. But I can't remember anything other than it was really compact and vertical.

Hi everyone,

hi,
does anyone know, what the front carrier of this sinar norma 8x10 is? It looks very small and light.

It seems like there are several 'generations' of this camera and it is still beeing improved, maybe the chinese gentleman that posted here before could tell us more.

in the afore mentioned newsgroup you can see some pictures. It looks like a simple design but well made.
Sadly the posted pictures taken with it are rather dull and uninspired, like in so many...
Actually, I can't see where this camera is a direct copy of an existing product.
It seems more to interestingly combine features of different cameras like the Phillips, Canham but also Ebony. Also...
