I just purchased a glorious 6x7 slide projector from a fellow apugger. Life is good. I think I'll set up a large slide show this spring. People need to be reminded of what is possible. I am very fortunate to have some very old glass slides to ogle too.

Well, the very first thing I'd say is don't ever think of family as an intrusion in your time. If you haven't done so lately, fall down on your knees and give thanks that you have them! Business, now that's another thing :whistling: Since taking on a managerial role, I've had all manner of...

Mustafa what the hell?! RattyMouse, a quick google search turned up this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osco_Drug "In the late 1960s, Osco was looking into purchasing or building a photofinishing plant to service its stores. At the time, the company was using outside vendors and the film...

I am very interested, and will send a PM now. I am in the DC area.

Hold on ROL, he didn't say he is interested in digital output only. Like many of us, he expressed an interest in the scan option. One of the major strengths of color film is the ability to go with traditional output and also the scan route. Yes, we've inappropriately discussed scanning, and...

Oh the 4990 rocks! Great purchase. I use that and I drum scan only if I really need it. DO NOT try to rephotograph with a DSLR- massive waste of time, unless you only need a basic image for web. The epson will demolish a DSLR on a copy stand, at much lower cost. The only issue is that you...

:laugh: ME your analogy is so perfect!!! Perhaps we should just start a "Waaaaah" thread where people can go and say all the same things about Kodak over and over to their hearts' content and solicit empathy.

These threads have such nauseatingly predictable trajectories.

Ah sorry!!! Don't know how I missed that. Apologies.

Well let me suggest taking a long, hard look at the fuji 160ns, I think you'll find that it scans at least as well if not better. And it is freshly available in 8x10. The case for ektar is much stronger, I am led to believe, for ra4 printing. Scanned ektar actually seems to need substantial...

+1 totally agree Do what you gotta do to increase the chance that you'll get the shots you want to get.

I would advise thinking about eventually getting a 5x8 back, which of course allows you to do a single cut on 8x10 and get two frames. I got a custom 5x8 back from Shen Hao for something like $250.... very nicely made, and I think my holders came from chamonix. The other thing is that there...

+1 :D

You are aware that it's pretty easy to make, right? With glass or with acryclic....

I could use a good 6X7 projector...

Yep, I preflash under an enlarger, if I want to do a whole box. The usual guidance is to figure out the exposure that just *barely* registers as a change from paper white when you develop the paper. Typically it's a very short exposure with the enlarger lens stopped down. To preflash...

Yep from Japan Exposures. If anybody wants to join in a bulk purchase just let me know- you can save on shipping. Like I said many times in the case of LF Polaroid and in my Kodak blog post, at some point a person has to ask what the final shot will be worth, and the answer is priceless...

Happily shooting astia and provia in all sizes, from 120, quickoad 4x5, to 8x10... :whistling: Of course, just now somebody will say: you can't do that! the sky is falling! it's all over! no! you can't be happy! you can't, you shouldn't, you... aaaaaaaa........ Hmm, I think I'll buy...

I received the print and it is absolutely gorgeous- the beautifully contrasty edge details, the overall composition.... this is a wonderful and very well executed print, I will be very happy to have it on my wall soon! *Great* work Wojiech! Thanks!

Well then... http://www.japanexposures.com/shop/index.php?cPath=28 I still use it in many LF sheet sizes, and even as quickloads :)
