  1. Re: Imacon Flextight Photo, on a PC with Win XP

    Not sure about the Windows compatibility, but SCSI-Firewire or USB converters are made by RATOC. I use the FRS1X or something with my Precision II and Mac OSX Snow Leopard successfully. You have to...

    Re: Sunglass preferences

    I've been really impressed with kaenon sunglasses. Their G12 polarized are neutral with a 3 stop reduction in light (the 12 refers to 12% light passing through).

    They are not cheap and UK stockist...

  9. Re: Used Imacon scanner - where to buy today?

    The SCSI Imacons are absolutely fine and offer probably the best value. You don't even need a dedicated older generation Mac. They will work on latest Intel machines.

  39. Re: Examples of the same scene taken with different focal lengths

    Rough rule of thumb for those with gridded ground glass - a 1cm square on GG is equivalent to a 30mm increase in focal length. This doesn't indicate compression from using longer lens of course.
