They would probably make great 8x10 negative holders for scanning on a large flatbed, too.

Been rather busy the last few years adjusting to health issues and some major life changes, but I'm still alive and kicking. Still shooting, printing more lately, and currently have some work hanging up in Oregon. Plus, April 2013 my MFA show goes up and in Fort Worth.

Sold over on the LFForum!

Coated Wollensak Anastigmat Extreme Wide Angle 6.25" (159mm) f/12.5 I purchased this from Kerry Thallman on the LFForum (where this lens is also listed for sale) and since 8x10 is a studio-only situation for me now it's time to sell off this wonderful field lens. The lens comes with a brass...

Wow, can tell I've been out of it... the glass on the lens is *not* perfect. There is circular scratch on the rear element at the upper edge of the lens and when you look at the front of the lens you can see a slight blooming. They were there when I bought lens originally and hadn't gotten any...

Up for sale is a Hasselblad 110mm f/2 F Planar with hood, but no back cap. Buy the lens and I'll mount it on a 2000 fc/m body that has a torn shutter to protect it during shipping. I'll also throw in two a12 backs (one has a wavy darkslide, but it does still mount and work), a Hasselblad...

At many archives the negatives are cut down to singular frames. Many times strips are cut to the single image to be drum-scanned. Imacon film holders don't all accept strips of negatives.... So is it acceptable to cut strips into single negatives if you have a $15,000 scanner?

2000 fc/w with 110 f/2 planar and 2 A12 backs :-D

The f/2 has more flare and is not very sharp wide open towards the corners. Plus, this lens isn't a flat-field so you can't focus in the center and re-compose or it will be off at f/2 due to spherical aberration. Personally, I shot with the f/2 for a long time because I needed the extra stop...

How inexpensive are you talking? Most dedicated film scanners will give better results than an Epson flatbed with 35mm, but one of the biggest factors in quality of scans is the scanner operator. The scanner is essentially a digital camera that makes a slow pass over the negative (or moves the...

What's your definition of "good enough"? Do you know anyone with an Epson flatbed you can scan your negatives on to test? Based on your film size and the "probably" not printing larger than 16x20 I would suggest keeping the Coolscan and just saving up to buy the printer. The Epsons are very...

Don, I have a pt/pd print of the very first image on that page and said digital image pales in comparison to the print!

According to Pacific Image's website the scanner will be available in June 2011.

Ditto. I need more paper!
