Tossing Negatives After They've Been Scanned

[RezaLoghme]

....like worshipping cameras, but not images....

In case that was meant to relate to my recent shopping spree...

I have no illusions about what is going to happen to my cameras when I am gone. They will be sold, and I am sure someone will be clever enough to yield a halfway decent price.

But I dont expect the world to faff over them and put them in a museum,

Not at all Reza, just a general comment that this forum and others like RFF....mostly discuss gear....and not photography....much the same as music forums talk about instruments/collections...not music... just the unfortunate state of the world.....

Maybe you are in the wrong section of the forum? I found a lot of interesting discussions about the image side of photography.

This thread is about tossing negatives, and my Leicaflex thread was about that. I think this forum offers a great variety of topics.

@mschem You're right, 122 negs are going to be a bit oversized to fit into a 4 x 5 scanning holder. If I can't scan them directly on the glass I may have to trim off a bit of the negs?!

I've scanned negs directly on the glass, it works fine. I used pieces of paper to make a mask around the negs and that worked well. Better masking than trimming the negatives.

Just look at today's topics....the majority are about gear

It's easier to talk about gear for the majority of people, I suppose.

Yeah. Probably has something to do with the fact that it's fairly easy to put words to hardware and process aspects - aesthetics, composition, philosophy etc. are often a lot harder to discuss. How do you describe a gut feeling?

In any case, it's fine to discuss either/both/everything here.

Yes, because of the fact that this is the Ethics and Philosophy sub-forum, and as long as that is the sort of approach to the thread you are taking.
If you want to start talking about resolution comparisons between specific lenses for your XYZ camera - that belongs elsewhere
