My point was that telling those of us who post negative scans of LF negatives should post in the digital images section is a slap in the face, rude, and exceedingly short-sighted, and quite simply wrong.

Thanks Michael E, you got it!

That's very nice, SergeiR. You must be stripping the backside emulsion?

Thank you, Andrew.

I tried it once about 2 years ago, and never would do so again, unless i don't have choice. I know people do so with great results, me - not so much. Stripping requires much more care and patience than i have ;)

Thodoris, what a wonderful portrait.

SergeiR, what rotary system are you using? I ask because I can't see how systems such as BTZS tubes or Jobo would allow development to the backside of the film.

Great minds think alike. I was wondering the same thing.

I didn't read all the back and forth on the last ten pages. I was looking for photos....

When I started this post I was thinking it WAS about the images. Hopefully we can get on track and post some images.
