    scanning holders

    For 120 film, the betterscanning holder with ANR glass is rock solid and well worth the money since the Epson 120 holder can't hold some films flat. Besides, it is easier to get the focus adjusted to precisely the right height. For 35mm film the Epson holder is a little more convenient...

    scanning holders

    Hi there, what are the options out there for upgrading the stock film holders that came with my v700? Apparently betterscanning no longer supplies the film holder with T locks - you have to buy the ANR glass which makes them a fair bit more expensive. Any other options? Can anyone who...

    ...as if you do the same thing on the latest entry-level dslr. A thousand dollars later, and I've got myself an epson v750, silverfast, a betterscanning holder, and enough lumina-fluid to last a decade. You could do the same, or get yourself a darkroom setup, or post it to a shop that knows how...

    is there any difference between 35mm and 120 films that a 120 nuB user should know?

    Plustek Opticfilm 120. While I don't use a macro lens and a DSLR, it isn't true at all that it's the same as shooting with a DSLR. The film image, by the time it even makes it to an enlarger or in front of a sensor has already gone through multiple stages which, as the sum of their parts...

    is there any difference between 35mm and 120 films that a 120 nuB user should know?

    For scanning (which we're not allowed to talk about around here so I'll keep it short), you can't go past an Epson v700/750, Betterscanning holder, and Kami or Lumina fluid (Lumina is kind of mandatory unless you live in the US/EU, Kami won't ship to us here in aus). Just don't do what I see a...

    Brand new Lomo Digitaliza 120, ideal for the Epson flatbeds. A very popular alternative to the Betterscanning holders. I've just bought the V600 and for my purposes, I'm satisfied with the Epson mask. The Digitaliza arrived a few days after the scanner, and hasn't been opened. £30 including...

    Scanning negatives - Wash before scan?

    ...cut off the first four frames and just done a scan. Digital ICE did something really weird.. (see attachment). I assume that was it's attempt to remove dust. So I've turned off ICE and this time it came out okay. I'm certainly going to keep an eye out for a BetterScanning holder being sold.

    ...thingy keep your negatives clean storage sheets watch out for gaseous discharge that tends to fog the inside of V series scanners consider betterscanning ANR scanning holders architect some kind of archival storage system, digital contacts are probably not a bad idea either. Have fun!

    New Wanderlust 4x5 camera

    Of course there's nothing to be done about shipping when it's international and long distance. I suspect many of us who are buying these already shoot 4x5 (or 5x4 if you prefer...) and so already have most of the items. I already have the lens, the film holders, 4x5 film in the fridge, light...

    Reflecta RPS 7200 - any opinions?

    I have a V700 right now, running nicely under linux except for the fact that there is no betterscanning holder for 35mm strips and the V700 which makes my 35mm scans a bit soft. I probably got a bit spoiled by vuescan because they seem to support a very large number of scanners under linux, but...

    Scanning 35mm Black and White Negatives with the D800E

    The Bayer array certainly concerns me as a possible problem area. For black and white negatives it seems to be a non issue, but for color I expected to see some issues. In practice I am not finding a problem with color slide film. I think the details on the film aren't small enough that it's...

    I have betterscanning holders with and without ANR glass, and I have the old-style Minolta holders with bars, and I don't see an advantage for one over the other, except that ANR glass introduces extra dust.

If you haven't seen just how flat the betterscanning holders get film, then you probably don't realize how perfectly flat you can get it. And the curl not only affects the sharpness of the grain but...
