Have you googled it? There are sites which tell you what mysterious files are. They are legitimate file names- you could verify by comparing sizes with the official versions. I googled briefly when your email appeared, and it looks like the software adobe uses for installing auto updates, with

Re: OT: First footsteps in BOOWU-M

Thanks , it’s a nice picture. I’ve had a print of it on my wall for about 40 years. It’s from a summer when I went hitch-hiking in Europe with a girlfriend. We slept on the beach there for a few nights, somewhere on the coast between Sete and Gruissan, I think - the shot was taken early one

That’s interesting because the light panel I bought is a Kaiser. It was shipped from Muenster on Tuesday, spent two nights in different towns in Germany, arrived in the UK yesterday, and was delivered to me today. > On 18 Apr 2020, at 21:48, Ralf R Radermacher wrote: > > > Don't hold your

OT: First footsteps in BOOWU-M

The light-pad I ordered arrived about an hour ok, so I made my first investigative foray into shooting negatives and slides with my M typ262, 50mm Summicron lens and the BOOWU-M copy stand. I shot some Kodachrome 25, Scala, colour neg and BW neg, all with the stand at the A4 setting. Some of

Re: Scanning old negs

is larger than A4 which is why it’s skewed. It was very quickly done - very old-skool but quick and effective. https://adobe.ly/2xB5oEx A nice led light panel is on its way to me, so I shall try a page of negs and slides when it arrives. > On 13 Apr 2020, at 19:43, Bob Pdml wrote: > >

Re: Scanning old negs

Good luck with that. I have a film scanner, but want to scan whole sheets. As well as a scanner I have a cunning plan. I have just bought on ebay a BOOWU-M (later BOWUM), which is a very old skool Leitz copy stand on legs, set up for use with a 50mm lens, with which you can copy documents of
