How about something slightly different?
Maybe consider going down to somewhere like Madeira or Malta? There will be plenty of cheap deals available.
If you want someplace closer to the UK, and...
Some good information there Ed. Have you considered using something like the GigaPan rig?
I noticed in the latest versions of Autopano Pro, there is an option to compress the edges of rectilinear...
I've been using Lightzone since the 4.0 betas came out, and really like it. It does handle 16 bit files, and does non destructive edits.
So far, I've only been using it for digital files, I've...
I usually use PC-TEA in mine, at 1+50, and use around 150ml of developer solution. This does four 4x5 sheets without problems.
I have tried with more solution (like when using Rodinal), but found...
Would using Vuescan on a more modern OS be an option for you? It's listed as supported.
I'll start from the assumption that the negative looks ok - there's shadow, highlight and some detail in the middle.
If using Epson scan, set it to professional mode.
Click on the histogram,...
That's just gorgeous.
Nice tone and texture.
Here's one from my MPP Microtechnical Mk VII, Efke 25:

Scanning and stitching is dead easy. Using photomerge in photoshop does the job automagically.
I made up a holder out of black cardboard with a guide on it to make it easier to line up the two...
If you can find one (they're more prevalent in the UK), a Paterson Orbital is good. It's basically a light proof tray, in which you can develop four 4x5" sheets at a time. It only requires...
Apart from the previously mentioned de-fish programs, you could try a panorama tool like Hugin.
I'm not sure whether this is the result of a multi-frame panorama or not, but Hugin can not only do...
Welcome to NZ!
There's not many places left doing E6 these days - in fact, I think most stuff ends up at ImageLab. Their prices have gone up quite considerably in the last couple of years, &...
Since you're in the UK, you may want to look at getting a Paterson Orbital. You can do two 5x7's at a time, and it only needs ~150ml of developer.
It's pretty easy to scan in multiple passes on a smaller scanner and stitch the resulting scans. PS's inbuilt panorama stitching function handles this pretty easily.
Autopano Pro handles this quite nicely too, and is a bit cheaper. You can shoot (auto or manual) bracketed exposures, then just point APP at the directory. It will take care of blending and...
I get evenly developed 9x12cm and 4x5" film using the Orbital. I've never had any problems. Using the manual base, I do a (wobble) rotation about every two seconds, rotating about 20 seconds in...
You can use remarkably little chemistry with the Paterson Orbital, but using the recommended minimum usually implies continuous wobbling ;) (orbital agitation).
The risk with doing stand...
My favourite too, plus only requires 150ml or so of developer. I use mine for 9x12cm and 4x5", but it can do two 5x7" or one 8x10".
The only problem is getting hold of one - usually easier from...
The one thing you may want to look a little more closely at is the video card spec on the Mac Mini server. I seem to recall it is a lower end card than the "desktop" Minis.
Link for the Acros film - on TradeMe, the Kiwi version of eBay.
If you decide to post your film, send it via the Swiss postal service, and not someone like UPS, and you'll more than likely not...
Does the Mac actually recognise the scanner? Check by clicking on the Apple menu, then About this Mac, & click on More Info. You should see it listed under the USB section, or under Firewire,...
I used to use Hugin due to the control it gave, but it went through a few versions of being buggy on a Mac, the most annoying of which was it wouldn't work if the source images were in a path that...
Yes, you certainly can.
I prefer Autopano Pro ($) or Hugin (free) over stitching in PS.
Welcome from the shakey land of the long white cloud. There are a few of us here, although most are probably watching the rugby ;-)
My favourite is the Paterson Orbital, assuming you can find one. They seem to be more readily available via the UK (which is where I sourced mine from).
Sort of like a daylight tray, which can do...
I used to develop my 9x12cm and 4x5" using the taco method. Three or four years ago I acquired a Paterson Orbital, which is much more economical, and does four sheets at a time.
Another option is...
If you have the time, get on the ferry and head over to Corsica. It is stunning, and the food's not bad either! Apart from one or two places, it's not suffered from over development. If you feel...
I'll put in two votes, since that's the system we use down here ;-)
1. Free and hugely capable, try Hugin. There's a raft of articles and tutorials that can take you through everything from...
If you file a notch in your holders, you should be able to quickly identify which holder (& which side), if any, is causing the problem. You could load the holders with film or paper, and leave them...
Welcome from Wellington.
Keep an eye out on TradeMe, as you can find reasonably priced B+W sheet film from time to time. There is a guy on there that sells 4x5" Shanghai film.
That said, I've...
Virtualbox works well enough, and is free. You can run it in seamless mode, which makes the windows program look like it's running directly on your Mac desktop. I've run Virtualbox on my Mac, and...
I did scan 4x5 and 9x12cm film on mine, before I got the V700.
You can't do it in one pass, so a made up a mask and guide from thick black card stock. Place the film in the guide, scan one half,...
That's gorgeous Jim. The colours make it look other worldly.
Beautiful. Veramente bellissimo.
I use a Paterson Orbital for 4x5 and 9x12cm sheet film (it'll do up to 8x10). I load it in a changing bag.
Nothing wrong with the MPP Microtechnical cameras, but you really want to be looking for a MK VII or MK VIII. Make sure the cam is matched to the lens (and then you can also shoot it handheld too)....
Welcome from the capital.
Looks like a nice job you've done with the camera.
Or get a "daylight tray" - a Paterson Orbital. Since you only need 100-150ml of developer solution for up to four 4x5" sheets, it's very economical. Your only issue will be finding one - best place...
If you can find one (ebay UK often has the most), a Paterson Orbital is a good bet. It is basically a daylight tray, in which you can process up to four 4x5", two 5x7" or one 8x10" at a time. Dead...
