ADG- You might want to ask this question here: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/
Kirk- I read your exchange on Mark Justice Hinton's site but I can't see where I can buy your book. Oh wait, here it is:

You did good. I've been playing the FeePay game to get my CPP-2 and 3010 and I paid a lot more than that.

I have the 1800f and have scanned 6x7 using the 6x9 carrier. It worked perfectly. One other advantage of the 1800f over the 4990 is the glass mount for 8x10 film. On this, you can scan any size by...
Lou at PhotoGizzmo has one. www.photogizzmo.com
... and then what? Use resize to get back down to your working resolution? Sorry if this is obvious to others, but the concept of scanning at a higher resolution is new to me.
-Ben
I can't imagine there is any lens that will shoot as sharp at f8 as it will at f16 or f22. The other lens that has a great reputation near your focal length is the Nikkor-SW 90mm f8. It's a great...
Machinists are perfectionists. Tell him to drill a hole, centered to a tolerance of +/- .015 with a diameter of 1.362 +.015/-0. If he spends more than 5 minutes on the job he misunderstood...
Is the Compact II still limited to horizontal only? I can't quite tell from the pics.
Have you thought about trying the liquid mounting stuff used for drum scanning? I have the 1800 but I haven't tried scanning 8x10's yet.
-Ben
Thanks for posting these pics. I'm looking for an 8x10 and I wondered about this camera.
How does one focus with this camera? I see the knob coming out the rear at the bottom center. It looks...
I just bought this scanner, based on the discussion here. I super-happy with it, but of course I have no comparison with which to accurately judge it.
Now I have to gain skill in using it.
-Ben
What a timely thread.
I was fooling around with my Discovery last night trying to grasp the subtleties of bellows extension formulas and noticed what I thought to be the front bubble level missing...
A bit of a collector are we?
I can't answer your question, but I am curious what value you see in the Nikkors given that you have the Schneider 80mm?
Thanks.
-Ben
Would you want that filter in a grad? The shadow might end up too cool without it.
-Ben
It's funny. I work in NYC at Macy's. That's two blocks from B&H and about 10 minutes on the subway from Adorama. Filter Gallery is three short blocks from me and until I read this thread I had no...
Does anyone know if there is a brochure that covers the new line of Arca cameras? The one's pictured in Scott's link still shows the old product.
-Ben
B&H has free parking on 34th although the bridge/tunnel tolls might cost more than shipping. Still, don't you have a fridge? Get a bunch and store it.
-Ben
I did some side-by-side shooting as well and thought that 100 was right. However, Dave is not the first to suggest 80 is better so I'm going to carefully bracket my next shoot until I'm convinced...
OK, 16 bit it is. I just Fedex'd the order. Thanks everyone for the advice.
-Ben
This being the case, why shouldn't I just order the 8 bit scan, load it into CS2 and convert it to 16 bit for editing?
-Ben
I'm about to order some Drum Scans. These are some of my most prized shots and I want to make sure I get the best possible scan in order to make the best possible print. I've done the math to...
Correction. I actually have a smaller bag than I thought. Its a MF1217. I just went out and bought a backpack for it last night. I picked up a Kelty Redwing 3100 and it fits perfectly inside it. ...
Here's how I carry mine. I have four lenses, a Quickload holder and a Lee filter system. I break it down to fit in a smaller case. This is a Lightware MF1420 case. It can fit into their BP1420...

156mm @ f/5.6
200mm @ f/22
filter size is 52mm
Those little bubbles are just to help you get close. I bought a little bubble level from B&H years ago that I use on the GG, but if I had to buy one now the one from Lee Valley would be what I would...
That's why you should shoot E-6. You can hold tranny's up to the monitor and everyone can see them because the light passes right through. See?
-Ben
I went throught this very thing about a year ago. If you compare the weight of the 410 to an Arca Swiss B1, you'll see a big difference. You've got a super light camera, and a super light tripod....
So... Did you get a bunch of them, or just a couple? :)
I have the calculator, and use it. I do find it to be confusing and I occasionally have to refer to the instructions printed on it. However, I view this difficulty as the trade-off for having...
I have the Arca-Swiss and use the A-S adapter board. Either the one made by Steve or the A-S one is fine. I bought mine from Badger. Its worth the price.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I would be interested to know how a spot meter would work in this situation. Is it possible that the shadows between the needles and branches are not...
Yes. You need both the longer rail and the standard bellows. I'm actually surprised that you can use a 210 with the bag bellows.
Yes, for wide angle you need the wide angle version of the Lee adapter.
I've solved this problem another way. I almost always use a center filter with my wide angles. I use the Heliopan center...
The Lee system has a similar attachment. The Lee adapter screws onto the front of your lens, and a polarizer screws onto the Lee adapter. To avoid vignetting, I bought a Hoya slim (thin, ultra?,...
Try these:

Check out the Lee wide angle adapter. This mounts the holder further back on the lens. I'm able to use my Nikkor 75mm without any problem.
Should have read:
... The same center filter works perfectly on the Nikkor SW 90/f8 also...
Bob,
You may recall the thread on center filters some months ago. I did a number of tests with the Nikkor SW 75mm using the Heliopan .45 center filter and found that it very nicely corrects the...
Here's a little feedback about the Canham.
Nobody wants to badmouth this camera. There is something electric about a *new* metal camera being introduced to the market at an affordable price.
