What do you use for video? And yes, I'm sure I've asked that before.

On the other hand the "best" camera is the one you have. The advantage in a
cell phone camera is that you've got it with you all the time...

The presence of the orange mask makes projection printing onto color enlarging
paper much easier and compensates for some rather significant dye problems in
substantive color printing.
It is completely un-necessary in scanning, and needs to be removed one way or
another to get good color balanc

True.
But a photographic color negative is not color neutral. The
"clear" part of the negative is very orange, so the black parts of
the positive are very blue. But the black
Nope, although the Iso25 B&W Kodak might be fun. Tech Pan hasn't been made for
20 years now I don't think.
I may pick up some of that 25 speed stuff though, and I have at least one 100'
roll of KB25 in the freezer.

GIMP I found it totally un-intelligible - couldn't figure out how to do the
simplest things that were obvious in the many other programs I'd been
using. Time to try again I guess.

I'll use the inverted enlarging color head - very even illumination, just

I use the Nikon mounted on a Leitz Reprovit II copystand - very ridig, and

A few hints -- use an LED floodlight for a light source. Reasonably

My cartridge loader sits unused. Hasn't loaded a roll of film in
at least 10 years. I'm still not sure abandoning film is a good idea...
Lol, Tech Pan was the film used by the military to take those photos where you
could read newspaper headlines from 12 miles up or whatever -- the resolution
of that film greatly exceeded the resolution of 35mm lenses for the most part.
Recovered from space, believe it or not, back in the day.
I've been using the D3300 for "scanning" film -- resolution is equal to my film
scanner and it's MUCH faster.
Need to make some film holders so I can make multiple "scans" of my medium
format films and stitch them together. Still not projection prints onto good
silver base paper, but who c
I do use the phone camera for documenting my airplane build for the FAA -

bits of steel and welding going on.

I used to use TechPan for aerial photos due to the extended red sensitivity
- it was almost like shooting through a #25 filter. I started using it when
it was a special order item and you had to mix your own developer from
scratch - but the results were worth it (Leica and 50mm Summicron).
On Fri,
Nikon D3300 for all my photography, such as that you’ve seen on my blogs. I
rarely use the camera on my phone for anything.

Very true - I keep telling my kids to use the real camera instead of the

They are not, really, although to do good snapshot photos.
The reason the "work" well is that the lens is a 7 element, multicoated PLASTIC
molding with an opening of f2. Plenty of light on the teeny tiny sensor with
