    There are so few films available in sheets that there really is no reason not to try all of them and figure out for yourself which you like best. Try them out in 120 rolls and it will cost about the...

    Re: Expired Film images...lets see yours

    This was shot on Fuji NPS 160 with an expiration date of 2003. I don't know when it was taken, but it was more than 5 years ago. The exposed negative was sitting in a box until today, when I...

    Need to replace my Perfection 4870

    Mates,

    My 4870 is on its last legs and I want to replace it before it gives up its ghost completely.

    I need to be able to scan negatives up to 8x10 and of course prints.

    Suggestions...
  11. Re: Question about old style Arca Swiss rail

    Thanks Dave,

    That was my initial thought, but the rail seemed to be a single piece. Until I actually loosened the bolts and lo and behold. That's how well machined these parts are.
