Re: Digital Slide scanners

[Zos Xavius]

It would be nice to come up with something for medium format that
doesn't cost a terrible amount of money. Right now I'm thinking that a
light table and a slab of anti-newtonian glass would be best.

Re: OT: Digital Slide scanners

[Rob Studdert]

I still have three scanners, LS8000 for roll film, V700 for generating
contact sheets, rough scans and 4x5+. For 35mm film stocks I use a
dedicated 35mm scanner which is optimised for the task, it's a Konica
Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II, it's the bee's knees, that said any
scanning is a PITA. If you throw good $$$ at a decent scanner it's
pretty easy to get similar money back when you're done, cheap rental
really.

My Slide Copier K has a negative track in it. I can copy negatives
faster than slides.
A couple of weeks ago, I digitized just over 160 negs in about 45

Re: Epson P600?

[Christine Aguila]

I ordered it last night and it will arrive on Wed.  I printed out the rebate 
form. Deadline for rebate is 4/30.  Looking forward to trying it out and will 
definitely report to the list. Hopefully, my experience will be the same as 
Godfrey's. :-). 

Cheers, Christine

Re: Epson P600?

[Stanley Halpin]

Note that there is a Rebate ($150) and a trade-up discount ($50) in effect 1-30 
April 2017…

E.g., see, 
http://atlex.itsuppliesinc.netdna-cdn.com/media/pdf/rebate/TradeUpP400,600,800April2017MIR.pdf

I recently uncovered and started up my 2880 after a very long period of 
inactivity. Had the expected multiple passes to clean the heads, 3-4 inks 
needed replacing. But what bugs me is that the paper feed is working very 
sporadically. A true pain. Based on this thread, I did a quick google on P600, 
found one review that was very positive except for paper feed problems ( with 
certain papers). Makes me wonder though if I shouldn’t just struggle through 
rather than upgrading. But Godfrey’s note is encouraging... I will be

Re: Hybrid hard drives, anyone?

[Zos Xavius]

How much improvement? It is truly like a whole new computer. Lightroom
and Photoshop both fly. I still miss my much better i7 workstation
laptop, but I was actually shocked at how much improvement a few small
upgrades brought. Its only when I start saturating the cores that I
notice the lack of the 4 core i7. PS rarely uses more than two cores
really except for a few specific operations. I will admit that it now
also has 16gb vs the 8gb it had in the past too, so that obviously
makes a large difference as well. I know I didn't mention that, but I
would imagine even if it were swapping hard it would be vastly faster.
The 5400rpm drive that was in it was terribly slow even by the
standards of crappy 5400 rpm drives.

My Slide Copier K has a negative track in it. I can copy negatives

Re: PESO: Bald Eagle?

[Paul Stenquist]

Yes, I was fooled by my fast and dirty way of identifying birds. I did a google 
image search for bald eagle underside view, and a picture of a turkey vulture 
came up, along with several legitimate eagles. I should have noticed that the 
head had to be small to be hidden in that view. But all entertaining. And now 
we know that while turkey vultures are hideous when seen from above or in 
profile, they’re rather attractive from below. He was a great flier as well. 
Soaring for quite some time without moving his wings.

Re: PESO: Bald Eagle?

A bald eagle's wings would have all black feathers; white on the head &
tail, but not on the wings. The white tail feathers would be spread out
more.

I think others have already identified it as a turkey vulture.

Re: Peso-Finale Poppy

[Paul Stenquist]

It’s a great shot. Love those flowers. My interest began with my California 
Poppy experiment of 2008. A friend in Santa Barbara sent me some seeds, and I 
succeeded in growing them in Michigan, but the blooms didn’t manage to reseed 
themselves. I suspect any seeds that did fall to the ground died in the winter. 
But it was fun. And of course mine bloomed much later, June I believe. Here’s a

I saw some kind of Raptor circling several hundred feet above my yard this 
afternoon. I pulled my camera off the tripod and did a handheld shot with my 
150-450 and 1.4X converter mounted — about 630 mm. Shutter speed was at 
1,000th. Turned focus manually to infinity and I think the camera locked on as 
well. But the result is less than 20% of frame. I assumed it was a hawk, but 
when I rendered it I could see if it’s no hawk i know. Matches up well to bad 
eagle underside pics on the web. Fun stuff.

That looks a lot like the vultures I was photographing this afternoon. 
They might sound a bit more impressive though if I call them "Paul eagles".

A classic looking photo of a lovely lady.



This was taken Feb 2016, but was a leftover shot. I just hauled it out
of Lightroom limbo and retouched it this morning.

645z, dfa645 90mm/2.8, f/8, 1/125th sec, 100 ISO.

Key light was an 8" reflector with grid; 5' gridded strip boxes left

Enjoy!
