This is cool, it looks like a jumbo TW-3

To be honest, I'm not as blown away with it as I was hoping for. The photos have a nice dreamy quality, but I seem to get a lot more softness in certain conditions than I was expecting. It seems to have more dust inside than what was advertised... I thought I was getting a good deal from Blue...

I have kind of an odd workflow with Silverfast. I scan the entire area of the negative holder to a single "iHDR" scan. Then I use their Silverfast HDR tool to extract the individual exposures, invert them, apply iSRD, and everything else. I find this dramatically speeds up the process for me...

Hey bermark I'm interested in the 24 f/2, DM sent

I don't have any EF lenses/bodies, I'm trying to limit my collection to FD for 35mm format shooting, I can barely justify splurging on even just one system ;)

Resurrecting this thread from the grave... Just picked up an FD 50mm f/1.2 L from Blue Moon here in Portland. Compared to my 1.4 the build quality is far superior, aperture ring is more precise, focus is a bit lighter but has none of the backlash that my 1.4 suffers from. I'm only half way...

A cosplayer checks his notifications, creates a juxtaposition.

Did a minor redesign this morning so the main diameter should fit, and it extends around the front a little bit to hopefully "click" into place. The fingers should also clear the dials too. I'll have to wait till next weekend to print it. Gotta say, I'm a huge fan of Fusion 360, a very intuitive...

Hey all, I've been leaving my SEI meter at home a lot lately because its a bit of a pain to use in the field. It doesn't fit in a pocket, and there's not much to grab onto to get a lanyard around it. And even if you did, its quite a dense lunk to have swinging around you neck. I've had it in my...

Wow I'm really happy to have found this thread and to see that you're so active here @team_player ! I've been using your app since Summer 2021 and it's an integral part of my analog workflow, thanks so much for your hard work developing it!

For transparencies, the scanner is designed to focus on a spot above the glass, the holders actually have adjustable feet to help dial this in. Also there's the possibility of newton rings when the film is flat against glass. But trying it out for yourself before buying holders won't cost you...

Long time since this thread died, but for future forum searchers; I borrowed a X-Rite i1Display (I guess its the same thing as the ColorMunki that @lantau mentiond) from my coworker and used DisplayCal with it. Worked great! No trouble with licenses. And despite its age at this point (last...

Maybe the holders can be found at a later date for sale on their own? To comment on the price, I always liked this write-up https://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/ebay/ Looking at what they've sold for in the recent past can give you a really good idea of the "current market value". Whether that is...

I use an Epson V750 for all my scanning. Mainly 135 and 4x5. If I was only doing 35mm and I had a nice-ish digital camera, I would just use that. Its not a very user-friendly process with the flatbed. And after a year and a half of fiddling I only really get 10-12MP of useful resolution from a...

Sorry for the sloppy handwriting, the title is supposed to be "The Fontaine". Its just the name of the building... but maybe The Fountain also fits the picture in its own way :)
