As far as film holders go, I've now tossed all the Epson 4990 scanning holders into the trash and use a nice pane of very finely frosted glass from my local glass shop. Frosted side down, I made 4 'feets' for the glass pane using layers of paper until I reached my favourite focus on thr scanner. I ...

It's also a good excuse (if one is needed) to spend longer in Scandianvia and listen to how the locals actually pronounce their language as against my attempts to communicate in the Nordic languages. :oops: :oops: :oops: Hmmmm Nordic languages.... best left alone I think. Most of my family live in ...

I will take Alan's advice. Could you please tell me what the difference is between the Epson V700 & V750, apart from the price and faster scanning speed? ....Or is that it? Joanna, you're signature is sooooo right: Stroking an Ebony is very reassuring. Why have pets when you can caress an Ebony? :wi...

Thanks Joanna. I cannot make the October meeting as I only have one day's leave left until November, but would be interested in the future subject to the meeting place being accessible by public transport. Paul, I like working in RAW digital format but for monochrome seriously missed using film. I a...

Well, I found the link quite interesting. It's just a shame the back can't be used with a view-camera. Not that I could afford one, anyway.... :( If you read through the PDF document it states that it can be used with a 5x4 camera with the Hassleblad V adaptor. If the cost came down by £9K I might ...

Processing of QL film and the cost of scanning
I visited Teamwork in London earlier this week and stayed longer than expected and left considerably the wiser. After taking the opportunity to actually examine an Ebony 4x5 inch field camera I fell in love with Ebony cameras immediately :D ) I asked about getting 4x5 QL film scanned by the processo...

Just to complicate matters, if when using digital you use the RAW format, as I do, the actual image is monochrome, but the software (Photoshop CS3) interprets it as colour. I shall avoid an detailed explanation. I suggest to really understand the process, just in RAW alone, you read Real World Camer...

Greetings from London
Hi, I'm just about the take the plunge.... for the second time. I briefly owned (about 20 years ago) an MPP Mk V. However I have seen the errors of my ways and will shortly be purchasing my dream camera: an Ebony 45SU. I have already been buying the lenses for it (secondhand Nikon, etc) in anticipat...
