Affordable scanning for computerphobes
I was wondering if it is possible to get the occasional tranny scanned at an affordable price? Whilst I really love making images with a film camera I really HATE the whole digital workflow process - the scanning :( - the removal of scanned dust specs :x - the postprocessing in Photoshop :'( . I jus...

Re: Ebony Wood
I recall several years ago phoning a dealer in Wolverhampton (maybe Warner?) and enquiring about buying a wooden field camera. The helpful(?) assistant advised me that in his opinion all wooden camers should be put in a field and set fire to in a big bonfire due to the expansion/contraction problem...

Re: Ebony Wood
Thingy, you say ebony is less susceptible to expanding/contracting in certain weather conditions. Less susceptible than what? you don't say, other than implying rosewood. In my experience the reverse is true, having found rosewood to be slightly more stable in varying humidity than ebony. The point...

Re: Ebony Wood
Very interesting. Though not essential, ebony is a very useful wood for the fingerboards of guitars and other stringed instruments. But it does seem an odd choice of wood for cameras.... Alan It's a very good wood for cameras, at least the heart wood is - being less susceptible to expanding/contrac...

Re: Velvia discontinuation
It is interesting that some Japanese companies seem to have a death-wish. Olympus produced the famous OM-1, a superb camera then seemed to target the serious amateur market and abandon the professional market to Nikon, though they claimed to be targeting professional photographers. Their subsidy sca...

Re: Friday 13th from HELL!!!!!
Time to make your own. So far, I've cut out 5x4" oblongs from 4 pint plastic milk bottles and dipped them in various coloured food dyes and egg white. No luck yet though! :( Have you thought of buying Fuji? http://victoriaglen.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/fuji-japan-cherry-blossoms-and-mount.jp...

Re: WTS Schneider Super-Symmar 110mm XL
I agree its an excellent lens, and the seller is highly regarded.
I forgot to add: I've used my 110XL rather more than I've used the PS945!

Re: Polarising filter - coated or non coated?
With less wide LF lenses you can of course use the RF75 system: smaller, lighter and the polarizer just "locks" onto the front of the holder as standard. I must admit that I avoid using a polariser unless I'm phortographing through glass or wish to reduce excess reflections which cannot be eliminate...
