Yes, the scanner is amazingly good. Better than I could have hoped for at that price or even twice as much. On Feb 23, 2013, at 11:15 PM, Ann Sanfedele ann...@nyc.rr.com wrote: On 2/23/2013 21:16, Paul Stenquist wrote: A shot of my race car on the jack and ready to be warmed in the pits.

Looking through these old film scans makes me want to get a MF film camera even more. Heck a crown graphic would be a lot of fun too. :) There's something about film that digital can't reproduce. I can't wait to try my first roll of velvia. :) On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 11:14 AM, Bill

nice documentary shot! What class did it run in? I recently went thru 25000+ slides from back in the 60's and edited out most down to a few hundred and need to scan those. -Original Message- From: Paul Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net Subject: 1975 Kodachrome A shot of my race car

And of course there's much about digital that film can't reproduce. In the end, I take digital for my serious work, hands down. That said, Ive had a lot of fun with film this week. I have to break out my Speed Graphic some time soon. Paul On Feb 24, 2013, at 11:39 AM, Zos Xavius

That doesn't look faded in the least. I guess its true. Kodachrome lasts forever. I never liked the color personally though. The highlight retention always surprises me in film after looking at digital for so long now. Cool shot btw. On Sat, Feb 23, 2013 at 9:16 PM, Paul Stenquist

I didn't realize the ektachromes would fade that much. I have seem ones that were still in ok shape, but were certainly more recent than the 50s. To fade perfectly clear is pretty awful. Sorry to hear that actually. On Sat, Feb 23, 2013 at 11:15 PM, Bill anotherdrunken...@gmail.com wrote: On
