> Does anyone on the list have experience scanning color zone plate > negatives? I can tell you that Tina Martin regularly scans her excellent work from zoneplate negatives using an Epson 1200 with transp.adapter. I also know that Joao Ribeiro scans his 35mm zoneplate negatives using a Nikon 35mm scanner. You can see his beautiful results at: http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/4414/zp/zpenglish.htm Tina, kindly scanned and printed a 120 format color negative for me and unless I missed something, I don't think there was any tricky setting in doing it. Obviously, if the negative is to thin or to dense, a low end scanner may have problems. Knowing a relatively accurate f/stop of your zoneplate is important (I think) to get good exposed negatives. Since I do not own a scanner with tranny adapter, I have my quick lab process and print (4x4") my negative film 120 format, I then scan the small prints with my $70 flat bed scanner. What can be worst than this? Nevertheless, for web sites the quality looks IMO decent. You can see some examples here: http://members.home.com/penate/ZP120.html , here: http://www.p at ???????/discussion/upload/images/sirwinston.jpg and here: http://www.p at ???????/discussion/upload/images/tanks.jpg , all of them from color negative 120 format film.
