Speaking of Easter...

And if you say it's not a portrait, Bunny will get very upset.

Ilford 400, 4x5 , Fujnon 250mm (SF), no disks, wide open (afaik, but might have closed it about half stop from gut feeling, i remember thinking about it).
First scan with V700. Trying to figure out if it actually worth to keep this scanner at all..

Wow, fantastic...I have just started to use a 250 Imagon. You do that Fujinon justice! The V700 has been fantastic.

Thanks, guys. Glad you like it. I am just still trying to figure out if i am indeed getting more tonal range with V700 vs HP 4050. I know that sharpness a tad better (not a lot though) with adjusted betterscanning station. But that soft focus for female images seems to do its magic quite well..
