After a 20 year hiatus I've decided to get back into analogue photography. First up, let me thank those of you who kept it alive over the past 20-25 years.
My approach to film will be pretty much most others are now doing, shooting and developing film, and then scanning the negatives to use to create digital and alt-process prints.
As far as previous experience, I started film photography around the age of 10 with a zenit and a portable enlarger, and ended with a toyoview 4x5, beseler 45 enlarger and full darkroom. While I did not pursue a career in photography my interest was strong enough to study photography in college. My main areas of interest were and still are architectural and landscape photography, as well as alt-process printing.
I've now got a Voigtlander Bessa 1, a Cambo SC, a bunch of roll film backs and I am making a couple of field cameras and backs to shoot 6x17 panoramic, and 6x9 architectural photos.
The one area I lack any practical experience and knowledge of is film scanning. I cant afford drum scanning, nor a full frame digital camera copy camera with shift set-up, so I'm looking to find which film scanner meets my needs and budget, and then to learn the best practices for scanning film.
