A true member of the Brotherhood does not crop.  6x7 is The One True

chop the neg?


Long Live The Aspect Ratio.

Hi!

Pentax doesn't make anything that generates a 6x6 negative. You, Sir, 
have been  unfaithful! You've been out a whoring with strange cameras!


But I forgive you. Go, and sin no more.

Excuse me now. I must go out and shoot a little with my Speed Graphic.

Regards,
Bob...

Hi All
1. i would like to buy a used but in a good condition, flatbid scanner
with the inserts and ability to scan 35mm and 6X6 negatives/positives
scanner (something like Epson 2450)

2. A question:
The newer model of the simple Epson scaner (what was the 2450) is now
2480, and as far as i know, they've pull out the ability to scan a 6x6
negatives. is that true ? does anybody has that scanner ?

I suspect he is referring to Silverfast, a scanning application.

I prefer Vuescan myself ... it drives both the Epson 2450 and my  
Minolta Scan Dual II very effectively.

Also the 2480 is AFAIK not supported by SilverScan. The 2450 is

I have the Epson Perfection 2450 and it works a treat, with a 4x9"  
transparency illuminator.


The 2450 line went to the 3200 then 4800 models. The 2480 is a lower  
cost unit with a smaller transparency illuminator unit, not really  
suitable for medium format work.
