This is the fourth in my series of images fitting the May PUG theme of "One Tree." Lee refers to this type of tree as an "Overcoat palm," because of the thick layer of dead fronds around its shoulders. It sits on the Pacific shoreline, just South of the beach across from the condo where we

I’ve been using a Pentax Slide Holder 1X K with Pentax K extension tube #3, a reversing adapter, and a Pentax-M 50mm macro attached to a MFT* digital camera, lit by a Kaiser light table. It’s very quick and the results are good, at least for use as proofs. Nikon has a setup like it, based

;No offense taken. But I do like the results at 4800. And with a 35mm transparency of neg, that gives me an image large enough to print a 12 x18 with some adjustment. Here’s a full res scan of a 50 year old BW negative that I scanned for publication.

Hi Rick, In the past, I was been engaged to do such projects from time to time, the last time about a decade or so ago. It's very tedious work and takes forever. Since then, I recommend they have the scanning done by ScanCafe.com, who are well set up to do it efficiently. Plus you don't have
