Knowing a bit Rome (thought I live in Milan), I give my 2 cents suggestions:
- avoid renting a car, circulation in Rome is a nightmare, parking even worse, and expensive
- rent a place to stay...
I bought these two also. They are excellent.
With the 35mm version you can scan the entire frame area (almost impossible with the original holder).
The 4x5 is tricky to use because of large scan...
I bought several film holders from this source; excellent quality and quite reasonable prices.
If you will shoot landscape, maybe you could evaluate wooden cameras, which could be lighter than Linhof.
In this case you’d better select also lenses considering the weight: in a total LF backpack,...
For those of you using a reflex finder, do you need to unmount it every time for focusing?
I can’t decide myself to buy one for this reason...
Developing 4x5 films at home is easy, actually easier than black &white.
What I currently do:
- Paterson Tank with Mod54 film spiral (I know that Jobo as a similar solution)
- C-41 Development...
I frequntly import files over 1 Gb into Lightroom.
6x17 negatives (Fuji G617) scanned at 3500 dpi (roughly 10,500 pixel long by 3,500, 16 bit color)
Honestly I don’t need all those pixels, because...
As previously stated by other users, meter normally, set the iso to 6-12 depending on developer, and don’t forget the IR72 filter!
If you use a stronger filter, iso could be lower.
If you take an...
In fact I crop the border of my camera film holder, while the standard configuration of X5 film holder scans also part of the frame, which is useless.
Regarding the difference between hardware...
If there are no marking on the film border, the film has been fixed but not developed.
If there are markings, development is there, but there was no or not enought exposure.
In the first case,...
With a flatbed scanner you usually wet mount in order to maintain the negative flat, and the time to scan a single or maybe 2 negs increases a lot.
With X 1 or X5 you simply open the holder, place...
I use an App named PhotoExif to sign all data about the shoot for a specific holder.
Than I can transfer all data to the scanned file.
Using Grafmatic mostly, this process is excellent: each...
I can’t help you with this since I don’t use 5x7”.
But if you design a 4x5 version for use with Paterson, I’ll be happy because Mod54 is quite expensive.
I remeber the technician open a sort of hidden window in the Flextight application, pressing Alt or Command while clicking on one menu item; I regret I didn't recorded the gesture (or ask...
Maybe the scanner part taking the holder is exiting to much from the scanner?
This can be corrected with a regulation, a hidden setting of the scanner?
It happened to my X5 onece.

I use Photoexif when I ise film.
Registers all the data you want with a fast interface (you configure lenses, cameras and films), than transfer the data tour PC/Mac and load the data to the...
you need to scan in RGB mode, so you can tune the conversion to b&w with channel mixer.
If you scan in b&w mode it is possible that your scanner convert the yellowish into pure white and the Puro...
It seems to me this has to do with light or development, probably the first.
Are there any not-black area inside the camera.
My process with X5 and 4x5’ films is clean (from dry to sleeves, from sleeves to scanner), but I always have a few spots/particles such as those you show us. it takes my 1 minute to clean, and at the...
the question could be asked for all processes you try for the first time.
Regarding C41, I think the only difference is the number of baths, wich is much higher (you should include the water wash...
I use a V 750 Pro, the 700 should be the same.
Try wet scan with the dedicated Holder.
You need the holder ( roughly 100/120$), liquid (I use Kami) and Mylar sheets.

On ColorPerfect website you'll find a detialed explanation on the difference between CP and Photoshop inversion. They claim Ps inversion uses a wrong math ( wrong for photography, not for graphic...
With MOD54 I use the spinner every minute (or every 15" with Pyro), and only one very gentle tank inversion in thw whole process. I fear inversions could unmount the films.
No underdevelopments...

I've been using a Benro flat design carbon tripod for six months now, I'm very happy with it.stable, easy to set up, and light. An inprovement on my Manfrotto 3 Kg tripod.
Flat design works great.
5 years is so much more than the standard shelf life of color chemistry.
The question you could ask, imo, is if the value or your next color photos is lower than the cost of a new kit, a Tetenal E6...
