That's a wound and a half to heal, Ilford really do make fantastic products. Everything they do is really good, everything - only I wish they could evangelise more about the qualities of emulsified light capture to a younger, perhaps more open minded audience. The upper echelons of Ilford management should take a close look at what is being said in the user forums on their own website by people completely determined to keep on working with film, and Ilford films in particular. William Curwen PS: Not really my intention to rattle any cages today - tough love if I have. In case some of you are wondering, my ideal digital capture scenario is...........an Imacon back on a Hassy fitted with a digital macro-lens in front of a lightbox, on which I can oil-mount my film and back project with a Solux digi-lamp through a spiral variable neutral density filter. The Hassy sits in a jig for full X-Y-Z movement for full multi-pass multi-position multi-exposure 48bit scanning direct to disk, and completely do-able too. Now could some of you cut me a bit of slack? :) =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
