>Flatbeds are ok, preferably with 35mm and 120 holders. I have Epson V500 with those adapters (no longer on the shelves). And I am a happy user of VueScan. It is simply too good for a business model from the customer's point of view. I also have a Nikon Coolscan V ED, a dedicated film scanner which is no longer supported. It does a better scanning of 135 but it can not take 120.

RE: spotmatics and unexposed film and gfm, oh my
I'd reinforce Mark's suggestion: not only is it amazingly good, I have had it since 1999, and I don't recall ever paying for an updated version! The support is impeccable, too.

Prints from K20D
So I needed a gift for a Chinese Auction, (which is now a politically incorrect term, but I don't care), and being broke decided to make something. I figured a custom 11x17 inch print of a PESO I posted a few years ago would fulfill the requirement for a twenty dollar more or less, so I did a new rendering of "Backyard Hawk". When viewed from about 20 inches the print is very nice. I wouldn't look too close, as the noise pattern the K20D produces at 1600 ISO is quite apparent, 11x17in may be pushing it a bit, but from normal viewing distances, the results are quiet pleasing. I'd post a link to the PESO but Google is still embargoing any email I try to send a link in that I don't obfuscate, and I assume still giving a scary warning about my web host, so I hope your memories are good. -- Any idiot can shoot with a Canon, Nikon, or Sony, it takes a special kind of idiot to use a Pentax. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

spotmatics and unexposed film and gfm, oh my
It's me again, Margaret. My basement is full. Not "there's some stuff on the shelves we don't need and I'd like to clean them off to make room for the new Christmas decorations" full, but "tiny, narrow paths that don't quite get me to where I need to be, and if I don't come out in fifteen minutes call the paramedics and hope they have the jaws of life" full. If you'd asked me about my SP500 I'd have responded in the affirmative, but without a clue which box it was actually inside. Nevertheless, I found it the other day, along with a 135/3.5 Super Takumar and a 55/1.8 SMC Takumar. (I do like the feel of a Super Takumar lens.) The battery was surprisingly not dead and the operation of the mechanical parts smooth and effortless. The knurled bit on the end of the film advance lever is possibly one of my favorite features to be found on any camera. Which leads me to film. I need some. Voilà! The very next box I opened was full of film. Some of it was exposed, but the vast majority was unexposed 35mm. Lots of slide film and not an insignificant amount of b And another unexposed roll of Kodachrome. (Sigh. I find one of these every once in a while, crammed into a coat pocket, or a shoe box.) It's all past its best by date, but I think we're in business. A certain person, who shall remain anonymous, but who's name rhymes with Spark McRoberts, suggested I drag the black and white lab to GFM one more time. (Some of you may recall that I protested the photo competition's switch to digital by souping and then scanning my own film on-site.) Plans are to be there this year with enough chemicals to make your average state trooper call for SORT backup. Which leads me to film scanners. I need one. The Canon 8400turdbucket is no longer supported. They say the previous drivers should work with DOS10, but they don't. Flatbeds are ok, preferably with 35mm and 120 holders. I'm open to suggestion.
