My darkroom has always been a temporary converted 'workroom' & I have always processed b & w film, but E6 goes out to South West Colour Labs Ltd. Now I have a scanner & printer I reckon I have the best of both worlds. Dennis

Thanks Barry, I can't afford a new one! Am keeping an eye out for s/h one. Dennis

Thanks. They are rare S/H tho. Dennis

Hi,
Have you sold the Graphic? If not can you send some pics? Thanks. Dennis

Mark, take heart. I once walked a couple of miles across a moor to get a sunrise & found when I arrived home that I'd used the wrong back (Hasselblad) with B&W instead of colour! Dennis

Hi,

Isn't life a little short to fuss over things like that? Dennis

There is a new Epson scanner which was reviewed in the AP last week I think which utilises a wet mounting method, but it sounds very messy & time consuming - which digital is supposed to avoid . . . .

Does anyone have any info on how well (or otherwise) the metal Canham cameras function in use? They look well specced on 'paper'. Thanks.

If anyone in UK (pref southerly!) comes across a really nice Sanderson or Gandolfi in a size larger than 10 x 8 do let me know. I rather hanker after a 12 x 10, or possibly 11 x 14, but must have a lens or two & some working film holders. Failing this how about a near mint 10 x 8 metal Canham? Any c...

Hi All,
Move to Bideford Bay, N. Devon - we have not had any real rain for weeks. Dennis

buse, My point exactly - I'm in favour of film! Dennis

Quality from digital cameras does not compare with a well scanned medium or LF neg/tran anyway. Dennis
