Thank you, Adam... Will the Moab 5x7 paper you mention work with the R280? I just want to make sure of this. Though, I am somewhat disappointed, as Newegg is now out of stock on the R280. I would prefer buying it from them. I know the R280 is probably available (at a good price, too) at

Thank you for the comment... The Epson 4x6 paper is available only in glossy or semi-gloss. It is also rather expensive at $9.00 for 40 sheets. This amounts to nearly the same number of prints as a roll of film (36 vs. 40)--and that is just for paper, without ink and shipping on the paper

The 4490 is likely a better choice to start than the 4990, unless you're already shooting Large Format. You'll also want to pick up some 35mm ANR inserts from betterscanning.com, they massively improve 35mm scans from flatbeds. You'll want 2 for the 4490. Note Epson.com has refurbs right now for

Scott, thanks so much for this information. I just shot several rolls of Velvia on Sunday and I was at a loss as to where to develop them for good quality and a good price. I guess I'll be dropping mine of at Walmart :) Thanks!! rg2 On 10/10/07, Glen Tortorella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I a

I've had inconsistent results with Wal-Mart's in house processing. Thus, everything goes into their send-out bin, even the C-41 stuff. It seems that quality is variable by store and by staff. Fuji is much more consistent. Basically, if you put your film in one of their 1-hour envelopes they'
