This is the classic green/black medium-sized all weather photographers backpack. It can carry a large format camera and several large format lenses as well as auxiliary items such as spotmeter, filters etc. Or it can hold a couple of DSLR bodies and as many as 6 lenses, including telephoto lenses.

Does anyone use this software to profile their scanners and printers?
Is it worth the €299.00 ?
Seems like a lot but am told it gives supior results than Vuesca.

Hi. The Vuescan Bible by Sascha Steinhoff, who created Vuescan, suggests that the negative is first scanned at 4800 spi to produce a RAW file, a .dng. Then this RAW file is scanned to produce the jpg/tiff file. Also this gives you a RAW file which can be used in A.N.Others RAW file converter softwar...

Chris--if you are within striking distance of Salisbury I would be happy to bring my laptop and try Vuescan-if that helps.

Hi This is just a guess but is it the scanner itself that is the problem or the software you are using. I have just bought the V850 and have 3 choices of software-Epson,Silkysomething or Vuescan. I use the Vuescan as I am familiar with it and it works for any scanner. If you have another software pa...

I can't recommend a place to rent for a few weeks but I do have a plot of land of approx. 0.4 acres at Eiden by Rogart in Sutherland which would be ideal to build a property to your own requirements. Post code IV28 3XD. John

George I cannot locate the PM I sent you but have removed my Ebony screen and can tell you it consists of 2 items. A plain rear glass plus a front (lenside) glass with centre focus spot, grid lines and the asymmetric axes lines. So does an Ebony fresnel lens come as a separate item and would it repl...

I would appreciate any comments on changing the Ebony screen for one of those available from Maxwell.
I use lenses from 72mm to 360mm focal lengths.
Are they worth the expense in terms of ease of focussing especially with wide angle optics?

Rob I would find that of interest. My email is johnrhodes934@btinternet.com. I will email the article of DerekKeeling if I manage to get a copy. I think you would find it interesting. John

I don't suppose anybody has a copy of the British Journal of Photography dated the 17 March 1988. There is an excellent article on reciprocity failure by Derek Keeling. I am after trying to get a copy of the article as my copy has got lost over the years. I used the data from his article when I work...

Sal--I have seen this data sheet but it only shows a 1/3 stop increase for exposures up to 4 seconds. I am interested in exposures up to say about 1 minute. John
