Analog film photography and cameras

this is what im talking about. I wonder if they actually used human sized plates for the neg

Regarding negative scanning www.theprintspace.com based in kingsland road have a very good hasselblad negative scanner.

what about a hangar pinhole camera?

the emulsion was roller painted on the canvas and the exposure was a whole day...

that is awesssssssssome marco, if only I had the time or money to do something that cool!

Blimey you could get a picture of Hippy on one of them ;)

I think you need to set up a good team of people to work on something like that...
I've done a small experiment in an old house, mind, was like 1mt by 1mt...but I did it directly on the wall!
was pretty strange to have "in the wall" a print of the panorama out of the opposite window...

talking about projections on walls reminded me of YouTube - Nuovo Cinema Paradiso - Incendio
scene.

There's one camera I would love to use is the 20x24 polaroid camera.

nothing that new

I see that I can pick one up on eBay for £200. .

You have seen a Coolscan V for £200 on ebay??? where - quick let me at it!!!!
I will be in need of a decent 35mm neg scanner to scan my shots I will be taking in Nepal next month.

just remembered i have a yashica T5 with zeiss t* fixed 35mm lens.
it has a roll of film in it but the battery is flat so i think i may buy a new one for it.
don't remember buying it or ever really using it? i guess it's been in a box for the last 5-6 years.
are they worth anything?

Is this not one?

Coolscan V ED

@danb

The Plustek 7300 35mm film-scanner is £180.

The DMAX is less than the Nikon's, and the max scan quality is effectively 3000dpi.

The Plustek 7500 (£255) has dust and scratch removal software, that the 7300 lacks.

has to be.

followed by my workhorse OM2

Coolscan V ED

Ah that makes more sense - still 6 days to go, it will go for about £700 i reckon

Those plusteks get very mixed reviews - and there resolutions are ridiculously optimistic.

Think I will have to keep an eye out for one of the Konica/Minolta film scanners as they seemed pretty good but without the Nikon price tag

700? nah, thats the 5000 model the coolscan V is gonna go for somewhere around 500, still not cheap to be honest.

I would love to have the ones that fit medium format negs

btw, you dont have to have a single neg scanner, you can have a flat-bed scanner, but the quality obviosly wont be anywhere the same, though you can scan all your film strips at the same time.
Something cheap like this (this one only takes 35mm) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canon-Canonscan-4400F-Flatbed-Film-Scanner_W0QQitemZ300294378122QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Scanners?hash=item300294378122&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1690|66%3A4|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Or something slightly expensive, but takes medium format and 4x5neg too. This is a pretty popular model

I bought a Canon LiDE 600F (flatbed) scanner, which to my surprise came with an extra part that can apparently be used to scan negatives. I tried that but the results weren't very good at all--really distorted colours, so I must have got something wrong. Or is this method generally inferior for negative scanning?

I already have an Epson flatbed - but the quality is not great for 35mm - mostly down to low DMAX and not great resolution.
Its not so bad for medium/large format - which is why I was looking at a dedicated 35mm film scanner

just remembered i have a yashica T5 with zeiss t* fixed 35mm lens.
it has a roll of film in it but the battery is flat so i think i may buy a new one for it.

they're excellent camera, Yashica has managed to put in the Zeiss lens that shouldn't have been in the camera on the first place.

it´s a great pro travelling camera.

flatbed never going to be decent enough to scan 35mm for achive, fine for scanning quick snapshot thought.

medium format is reasonably decent on a decent flatbed scanner however.

I'll give you tenner for it. you'll have to deliver, mind.

dude, they're worth atleast ten times that
just the word zeiss is probably worth half of the camera's price

he's probably written it on in tippex though.

alright, £15. as long as it's the f 1.4
