I have purchased a Screen 1045i drum scanner!!!

**Eirik Berger** · 2-Dec-2005, 14:56

Finally, FINALLY I can scan my 8x10" negatives/positives the way they should be scanned. Fast and mounted on a drum!
I havent "collected" it yet, it weighs 160kg and is located 1500 km away, but it doesn´t matter. I am to happy right now to worry about transportation.

I know this wasnt a question, but I just had to tell anyone. My girlfriend doesn´t care about these things, she only want to know where I am going to place the bastard...

On her side of the bed. Since she won't be using it anymore LOL!

On your side of the bed.

Same reason.

If you have learning curve questions, and I'm sure you will, there's a yahoo group dedicated to high end scanners which includes a number of drum scanner operators:

I run an Optronics ColorGetter 3 Pro myself. Ain't nothing like a good drum scan. Nothing at all. But the beasties tend to be hot, loud, big, and slow (you are scanning one pixel at a time after all). Well worth the bother though. Well worth it.

Send me an email when you know how to use it! :-)

I looked at the ad too, but my back pocket said : don`t even think about it!

"On your side of the bed.

that sounds closer to the truth.

" On your/her side of the bed"

Love the responses! I don't really care about the scanner, but it was worth opening the thread just for those replies.

I am glad my girlfriend doesnt read this forum...
Bruce: Thanx for the link, I have joined this yahoo group and I am lloking forward to read through the posts.
Amund: I will contact you as soon as I am up and running. In january I will have my Jobo ATL 3000 working too so I can provide reasonable priced developing and scanning of 8x10" negatives/positives.
Graeme: Frankly I dont care about the scanner myself, only the results it (hopefully) will provide.
