Re: [pinhole-discussion] More on Scanners...
For the length of exposure that a pinhole needs, you don't need anything complicated. You could make a lightproof cap that fits the front of the camera and just take it off for the exposure!

sell some blood go with the epson! michael_georg...@trendmicro.com wrote: See, I just knew that the twice-or-three-times-as-expensive Epsons would be suggested! Not that you're wrong about them, just that I am resource challenged at present... (What about Canonscan scanners? Anyone use 'em?) While pondering flatbed scanners that will also do 35mm transparencies, I happened to mention to a guy off-list that I might rather get a standard flatbed scanner and figure out some way to turn off the internal light source and use an external light source for transparency scans (which is all that a flatbed with a transparency adaptor seems to do anyway, as far as I can see). They guy I was exchanging email with said Many standard flatbed scanners allow you to turn off the internal light by selecting transparency in the Software (TWAIN driver). You can then cut a piece of cardboard to fit over the scanner with a hole cut to the slide size and then place a light over the slide. This, I did not know. I was all set to grab my screwdrivers, soldering iron, Dremel and a switch... and here it might be doable in software. Has anyone out there done this? Anyone use the TWAIN transparency mode to turn off internal illumination and then light transparencies or negs with external illumination? I figure there's be enough nuts bolts hackers, geeks and general DIY kinda folks on this this that someone may have tried this...

Re: [pinhole-discussion] More on Scanners...
I just put together my first 4 pinhole camera am wondering how to shutter them all at once...h Use one shutter for all four. If they are in line and on a flat plane then it's easy. Or a sliding shutter with a hole for each pinhole so you can slide closed and open. Or just by very quick with your hands :-) Alexis
RE: [pinhole-discussion] More on Scanners...
I have the 1200 dpi version of the 2450 with the accessory transparency scanner think it's great. It will do from 35mm to 8x10's (If you have he storage for it).. I would presume you could find it on EBay pretty cheaply now that the 2450 is out..

I have just been looking on the web and found some interesting facts about the Agfa Duoscan 2500 I am particularly interested in it because it apparently has a 8 x 10 capacity for negatives, something that interests me as I am currently building a large format pinhole camera. Does anyone have experience of this scanner? How does it compare with the Epson 2450? This is relevant to pinhole I promise.

RE: [pinhole-discussion] More on Scanners...
I have been using an Acer Prisa that cost $179.00 US 2 years ago. It is a flatbed with a light source in the lid that has a removable cover that allows scanning of negatives and transparencies. No, it is not a high end but has been the scanner I have used for the past two swaps I have been involved in lately. I use this one at school and if you know schools g they are not often open to purchasing the best technology[for the art department especially]and most run on Cheapo, Cheapo, Productions, but I do have a negative scanner! My 1.5 cents! ~Chuck Flagg~
