    Re: C-41 Recommendations?

    I have used Kodak Flexicolor with the Jobo drums and would recommend this option; just don't over use the developer - 4 sheets of 8x10 in 1000ml working solution of developer should be safe one-shot.

    Mike, are you using a Jobo or one of these Stearman tanks?

    Sandy,

    Is the Sony A7R IV the first camera you've tried camera based digitising with? I've made some attempts with a Fuji X-T2 and have found the process works better than I had expected,...

  12. Re: Scanning 4x5: Buying an Epson Flatbed VS my current DSLR (5DII) VS Lab Scans

    Someone on this forum is using the Panasonic S1R which I believe is relatively less expensive compared to the Sony A7R IV camera.
  13. Re: Scanning 4x5: Buying an Epson Flatbed VS my current DSLR (5DII) VS Lab Scans

    Sandy, thanks as well from me as that is very helpful information, especially as few have your depth of experience and have tested Epson -> camera "scanning" -> drum scanner for comparison.

  15. Re: Scanning 4x5: Buying an Epson Flatbed VS my current DSLR (5DII) VS Lab Scans

    Peter, those are some good points. He doesn't seem to back up the assertions made - although from a quick read through I thought he was discussing exposure more than light source.

    Re: Intellifaucet D250 - sticking valves

    When I dissembled the unit there was very little actually visible that would indicate problems. I'll try soaking with a stronger acetic acid solution next, I only used 6% on the previous occasion.

    The Intellifaucet valves have started sticking again today, so perhaps I need to soak them in acetic acid once a month or so as maintenance.
