Do you still have the 4 x 5 holder for the Epson 3800? By chance I have
my film holders for the 3800 and V500 sitting in the same drawer. Both
look like they hold the film the same distance above the scanner's
flatbed (no micrometer handy to actually measure that.) I put the 3800
holder on the V500 and the lid does no close properly, because the lager
pull on the frame around the film keeps the lid on the V500 closing. If
you have your old 3800 4x5 holder, and if you could trim back the pull ,
you might have a useable 4x5 holder for the V500....

Thanks Mark. You're right. Previous attempts with film on glass have produced
Newton rings. Have to try it again with this scanner. I have some other 4 x 5s
I'd like to scan.

Very nice shot, Paul, and extra points for doing it the hard way. I'm surprised
you did not get Newton rings with the film on the scanner, but the results
speak for themselves.

Way back in 1975 a teacher at the Chicago high school where I taught English
asked if I would take a BW pic of her and her kids. Like many young
photographers, I had a penchant for doing things the hard way, so I decided to
shoot them with my Speed Graphic and 127 mm Raptor 4.5. I had jerry rigged a
cord so I could attach a Honeywell potato masher strobe. So I did that and
mounted the strobe on an umbrella that I had painted white. I had to tray
process the film. (Couldn't take it to a lab. That would be too easy.)
I'm not sure if the lady specified that she didn't want to look at the camera,
but neither she nor her children are looking at the camera. The pic was for a
newspaper column she wrote. Maybe they just thought they should look at the
flash.
I scanned it today on the V500. Just for grins. There's no 4 x 5 film holder
for that scanner, so I just placed the neg on the scanner in the approximate
position of the overhead light. The scanning area is less than 4 inches wide,
but I needed to crop it a bit anyway. At 3200 dpi, the scan is 1.2 gigs. I may
print it. Just for grins.
