A couple of screencaps from sketchup of the wip-design of a mounting station for scanmate drums.
lasercut plywood, a sheet of plexi (etched), 4 threaded ø30 rubber wheels (if anyone sells anything...
THANKS for the silicon roller tip! amazon sells them as individual spare parts for printers. GREAT! :)
and thanks, Vinny - a picture in your ad and a some dimensions on the drums that fit would...
I have searched over there, but did not find anything... maybe because of insufficient patience :)
(I wish it was a forum instead of a yahoo group; such a bad platform!)
I assume the rollers are...
My 20 year old Scanmate4000 is now up and running, but finding a mounting station to wet mount is difficult...
Has any of you made your own mounting stations? I have access to a laser cutter at...
Looks really appealing - even for someone swearing to geared three-way heads! Thanks for sharing!
... maybe even the same algorithm ;)
+1 to a Tech V
bought a similar one used this summer - outstanding machine! your specimen looks like it is in great shape and if the bellows is free of pinholes, it should easily bring in $1000 or...
... anyone who has a resource on these kinds of bags within EU? Local, customs free supply is easier for us europeans ;)
thanks in advance!
Grieger in Düsseldorf prints for Gursky, Massimo Vitali etc... HSL Digital (also in Düsseldorf) prints for Axel Hütte, Candida Höfer and so forth... just a thought
... but wouldn't you need a...

enjoy Dhaka (not envious at all... ahem) and yes, my 150 is a Sironar-W... lovely lens, but it doesn't fit inside a Technika, which is seriously annoying when I have a cam and infinity stops for...
as some (most) of you know, I have mounted a universal bellows from ecbuyonline on to the old frames for my normal bellows (pinholed to death when I bought the camera). I ordered 300mm and I get the...
Daym... that was a bunch of really, really cool features you mentioned!!! Looking forward to your further experimentation and results!
aight ;)
... just to hijack the thread a bit, while you are here Noah, how 'tight' are your locking mechanisms for shifts and rise? I find mine to require way more force to unlock that those for...
... just to second what has already been said, I use my 150 Sironar-W with full movements with bag bellows - that means stitching 2 4x5 negs using extensive back movements. It stretches the bag, but...
... a short extra note on the drum scanners (if you should ever fancy one): Choose a brand that is serviced locally ;) For me that meant one option, Scanview... so I got a Scanview
Oysteroid, your enthusiasm is great. By all means, keep up your research and keep us posted - it will be greatly appreciated in here!
Initially I was very tempted by the DSLR-scanner idea, but I...
... and perfectly good drum scanners can also be had in the $1500 range, assuming you are patient, thorough and bit lucky.
For all the further reading, testing, discussions, thoughts etc on the DSLR...
Beware, its not the S-version, which has zero-detents. You certainly want the S-version if you want to use a roll film back... you probably want the S-version no matter what.

I will second Bob's advise: Be a bit patient and look for a used Linhof Technikardan 45S. It is extremely versatile, built to the highest standards imaginable, and folds down compact for travel....
... I replaced the GG's on both my TK and Tech - but I am not a fresnel guy, so I bought Steve Hopf's excellent product. He hadn't cut them too precise this time, though, so I had to manually grind...
yep, it seems so - still a few cracking/sticky sounds and a couple of thin threads of glue this morning... back with the brush tonite!
I just brushed a thin thin layer of talcum on the bellows... seems to work quite alright - and actually, I don't find the dusty look bad - it sort of underlines the german weaponry quality of a...
... but that does not seem to be an option in my case, right? I will try Talcum - it should not leave the that ugly a finish, I think, if all excess talc is removed carefully, that is
- good point, Steven. I literally see thin threads of glue between the pleats when pulling out the front standard. I would personally conclude, that the glue used to laminate cloth and PU-leather...
... furniture polish!?! well, probably worth a try. I would be a bit sceptic about anything on a spray - it would end up being everywhere, wouldn't it? But thanks, both of you.
... keep the...
I recently changed the bellows on my Technika V to an ecbuyonline PU-leather bellows. Nice product, folds into the body... but it remains sticky as hell!!
I have been in contact with Rudy from...
... I bought a TK45S for around $1300 last year, perfect condition. No confusion of models here :). They have gone for as low as $1000 on this forum. You just need to be patient, thats all! Granted,...
to put it short - keet it Linhof.
sell the Kardan you have and get one of the cheap Technikardans instead. Equal versatility in a much more compact and good looking package :)
Btw, how do I remove the drum, Andrea? Should it be unscrewed or...? I really don't want to use force
nope, haven't tried with a pc. I 'invested' in the pretty little powerbook, so I'll give it a few more chances... having read quite a bit at the Scan Hi-End group, it seems that most people have...
Hi Zak,
thanks for input - I reached the same conclusions through Apple's user forum and eventually picked up an older powerbook... as reported previously today, connections to the scanner is not...
... it was because I wanted to test the scanner with my laptop, when I picked it up (new macbook pro with only thunderbolt ports). I have ended up buying and older powerbook running tiger and...
... what Noah actually says is, that prontor-shutters will be a PITA, since you don't have "T" for long exposures, but only "B". Bulb on a prontor means either locking the cable (for 5+minutes) or...
hahaha... LOL :)
Unless I am seriously misinformed, your Scanmate11000 certainly doesn't have a 1GB file size limit. You are using ColorQuartet with it, right? Not ColorTrio, hopefully... If you are not already...
haha :) ... have read the article from 032c mag that is referred to. The thing about two different focal lengths escapes me, though. But setting up two Linhof TK's - each with full lateral back shift...

... comparing huge prints from two of the masters, Gursky certainly has the edge over Sze Tsung Leong - Gursky's are even larger than the enormous print I saw by Sze last summer.
Sze Tsung Leong...
... interesting.
- I want ladders, too :D
ps, Frank: that man has shot almost every quarry and open mine on the planet by now.
