Re: Epson V-500

I used a V-500 for a while and found it to be very good. I got some very good scans with the V500, mostly of medium format film - it certainly delivered bang for the buck. On 2/16/2013 11:06 AM, Paul Sorenson wrote: Atlex has a bunch of Epson printers and scanners on sale and I'm considering

Re: K-01 now on the official "discontinued model" page

I have no regrets at all regarding purchase of the K-01. When it first was announced I contemplated getting one and replacing my K-7 with it. The K-7 is just a backup for my K-5, and sees virtually no use. I am beginning to think that the k-01 could fill the backup role *and* provide value by b

Re: Happy with the K-5IIs

Thanks for that summary. It seems clear that the K-5IIs is a step up. While I don't do much AF shooting in low light I do shoot with lots of extension at times, and I assume the that low light focusing would apply to a macro lens with a bunch of tubes on it just as well to a genuine low light s
