When these people arrived in New York one of the few worthwhile shares they could buy was in Kodak.

By this means the British taxpayer be came the single biggest shareholder in the Big Yellow Giant. I was told this story by someone who had worked for Kodak in both Harrow and Rochester.

filmscanners: Scanning Pete Turner's Slides
We had the opportunity to interview Pete Turner, another great photographer, two weeks ago. As with Jay Maisel, I have permission to use his images on my web site to promote the interview. Yesterday I received a package from him containing a CD of images used in his new book, and eight slides of his classic images for scanning to produce files to submit to Shutterbug Magazine along with the interview. This is where the fun part begins. I spent last even creating 4000 PPI raw scans, both in VueScan and in Polaroid Insight of his images for archiving. The images are incredible. Best of all, I have the slides to use for color matching. I should have the entire interview up on my web site by the end of next week. Meanwhile, I pulled out a series of quotes from him about how four of his most famous images came to be taken.

filmscanners: Device Profile in VueScan
Hi I use Minolta Dimage Dual II with Vuescan. In VueScan, Is it good to use RAW scan or Scan with DeviceProfile? In VueScan, If I select Device Profile, is it the profile of the scanner? In my PS6.0, I see two profiles related to Minolta Dimage Dual II , but none on Vuescan. Thanks in advance Ramesh

If you have one and send it to me, I could get a much better fix on it--I'd pay the shipping one-way. Don't ever expect to get it back, OTOH. ;-) The Retina IIIc was in fact one of the last really good cameras Kodak made, from about 1960. German-made largely, certainly the optics with a Compur shutter. Kodak also made some reasonably good reflex cameras about then. I don't have any of them, but I know of a lake where there's one at the bottom of. :-) Best regards--LRA Of course it was the Medalist and 620 film is right. I don't know if you can even get that stuff anymore and it's no fun rewinding 120 on 620 spools. I sold mine eons ago. Sorry. But it was a very neat camera and I believe they can be had still. have you looked at ebay? The last Retina was in fact the IIIC (capital C) which had a superior viewfinder to the III small c, a meter without the flip up door and, if I'm not mistaken, lines in the finder for each of the aux lenses. I still have mine, fire damaged and lacking the removable front element. Shutter still works. I wish I could justfy buying another, but I wouldn't use it as much as my current cameras, an Olympus XA4 and a Minolta Explorer (both with 28 mm lenses.) The Retina would get lonely along with my old NIkon bodies. If I can't slip it in my pocket, it stays home. The Medalist would be a doorstop. Rich

It would be easy to do the geometry to see how the gap would affect accuracy at different focal lengths. It would have been simpler before lenses got so complex too. Years ago, lenses weren't so far from the pinhole, where all the light came from one point. I don't know the terminology, but in modern lenses, retrofocus and so forth, a lens set at 50 mm might send light to the film plane as though the center of the lens were 90mm away or something similar.

RE: filmscanners: which scanner for slides ?
For Win95/98/me/w2k(aka nt5): The scsi devices need to be turned on prior to booting only if it requires the scsi bios to be loaded -- bios only needs to be loaded for disk/bootable devices. So for scanners, no need to do so. Just use the device manager and click on refresh. For nt/Win3.x: these are non-plug play, so you need to have the scsi devices powered up before booting. (NT/Win3.x cannot rescan bus and start the service) Unix/Linux: issue the appropriate command to mount the device. DISCLAIMER: I've done hotplugging of SCSI devices successfully, but it's not a recommended procedure. Its not straight forward either, and can result in loss of data or even device damage. I recommend you shut down the system before adding /removing scsi devices, but if you really need to do so, my procedure is given below. I strongly recommend you back up your data before you try this. on scsi hot plugging (another message, which I must have deleted, sorry): apart from the SCA hot plug devices, yes, it can be done (AT YOUR OWN RISK). Get all the equipment ready and standing by. Ensure no scsi bus activity is taking place (eg use the sync command found in Unix or Unix-like utilities such as MKS Toolkit or Thomson toolkit), then you have a few seconds to act. When a device is disconnected, the bus is unterminated and nasty things can happen if there is bus activity on an unterminated bus. this includes loss of data - so I repeat, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Quickly unplug one device, insert the new device and hookup. ** PRAY ** Power up new device if necessary. May need to reboot (for non-plugplay OS). In NT4, you can trick the system to rescan the bus by going to control panel -- tape devices -- rescan for tape devices. Strangely 'nuff it works. Cheers Lawrence Lynn wrote: David wrote: If I remember correctly, SCSI devices need to be turned on before you boot the system, in order for the SCSI controller to detect it. Not on my system (Dell Dimension w/Win98); I just need to turn on the scanner before I load an acuisition program, and it finds the Acer with no problem. Buying the Acer includes a SCSI card.

filmscanners: LS-2000 or Coolscan IV??
Folks, I'm thinking of upgrading my ScanWit 2720 to a real scanner. I'm quite annoyed that the ScanWit doesn't handle underexposed slides very well. In some cases the colors are WAY! off. I'm thinking of buying a used Nikon LS-2000 or Coolscan IV. The question is just: which one... I probably won't notice the difference between LS-2000's 2700 dpi and Coolscan IV's 2900 dpi. I really don't care if the thing has SCSI or USB interface. Which one is the best buy? Thanks, Tom

Re: filmscanners: VueScan Question
Hi Ed, Again, not to be argumentative, but, I do understand it is the same CCD. That isn't the issue. We know that, for instance, typically the blue scan is noisier than the green or red, right? I have no idea what type of response the infrared sensitivity of the CCD is, but I'm (guessing) that the infrared scan looks nothing like the visible light spectrum scan, and isn't influences at all in the same way to shadow density of the visible light scan. Have you tried my suggestion just to see if it makes any visible difference? (perhaps just doing a compare of the IR scans in Photoshop might give a clue). Can you perhaps post an example of what the infrared scan looks like of a typical image? If you are stating that the CCD has the same response to IR light as to visible light, then I am guessing the dICE system is adding a certain amount of random noise to the scan, in fact, it is, in effect doubling it in a one scan situation, since each scan introduces a different set of noise and the they are subtracted from one another. And again, the question I asked last time begs to be answered: If the visible light scan introduces erroneous random noise artifacting in the shadow area data, and then the dICE infrared scan does the same thing, (capturing different noise and random errors) wouldn't that introduce a second level of errors, since the dICE scan would have different random pixel data (noise) than that of the visible light scan, and when the subtraction formula occurs, some data would either be subtracted that should not have been, or not subtracted that should have been? I think it may be time to ask our friend from ASF for some comments about how CCD's respond to IR, etc. Art [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 6/4/2001 10:38:06 PM EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm guessing, but I would be surprised that the infrared light scan would have very much noise artifacting in it.

Re: filmscanners: Used Nikon LS-20 for sale
Hi Art, Can I ask you two silly questions? 1) Why did Nikon charge you DM351 to fix a scanner which was operating within the normal technical limitations of the scanner? They claimed that they have cleaned it, and that it was working properly AFTER their action. I could not make out any difference in the results before and after, judging from test scans. 2) Why would you spend DM351 to have a scanner serviced which you were going to put on sale for less than the servicing cost? Simple: at the time I had it serviced, I had not intended to sell it, because I had hoped that the service would remedy the problem. I've had had an extended discussion with Nikon's service agant about the whole affair, but they were uncooperative. After that, I didn't pursue the matter further because I considered it a waste of time, nerves, and money.

Re: filmscanners: Device Profile in VueScan
I think you well find the following: There are two Minolta profiles on your system (c:\windows\color if using a PC).One for negative and one for positive images. The Vuescan help file states that Device RGB is only useful if you select image as the media type. From the Vuescan help file...The Device RGB color space doesn't embed any ICC profile into the TIFF or JPEG files, and outputs images in the color space of the device. The Device RGB option is only useful when Device|Media type is set to Image Note that no profile is embedded. The Minolta profiles are not recommended as working spaces. I am not sure what you are trying to do, but suspect you would be best served to use Adobe RGB as you working space, select either image, slide, or negative, as appropriate, under Device/Media type, and have Vuescan tag the crop files as Adobe RGB in the color tab. Vuescan well use the appropriate Minolta profile to characterize the scanner in producing the scan, and the tagged file will then open in Photoshop 6 without need for further conversion. Bob Wright Based on your statement, following is my understanding. Minolta will have provided a Profile file, which will be laying some where in my PC. Vuescan will use this profile when Device RGB is selected in Color | Color Space. In VueScan, Color | Color Space shows just Device RGB.
