My question is-

If i wanted to go to a 40x50 print from a 4x5 transparency(let's assume that its a good transparency)--first off I am aware that my flatbed scanner will not take me there--is...

Joe-about three weeks ago I managed to get a used Toyo AII on Ebay--which had actually never had a lens mounted on it--the reality was that it was new--I paid half of what the retail price is.

Scott,

Which Toyo 4x5 are you using if I might ask?

Also you mentioned that you need to use L glass with the 5d--I shoot with the 20d and use some old EF non-L lenses with it and have had no...

Is anyone familiar with a photo-business management software for the MAC that might be comparable to the Agave software which seems to only run on Windows?

Thanks
Ron

I have checked my local shops--B&H, Adorama, Calumet and no one seems to have the Quickload in stock. Anyone know where one can be purchased?

Thanks
