I just got my first four rolls of film for my canon t50. I can't wait to get out and get those burned out and sent to developing. I am starting to think I may move more into film for certian things.

Ask them where they are getting them scanned. Quality is hard to find.I know a bunch of photographers the only guys shooting film are the guys shooting 120mm or bigger. It’s hard to beat a well shot 4x5 if you want to go big. Having said that they all are scanning them and using photoshop to doll them up.

I find that with canon the images are flat and lifeless. with fuji they are full of depth. My friend is a fuji X-Photographer and his images are outstanding.What I never liked about Fuji was the color rendition. I’ve never seen a grassy mountpain slope above tree line that looks like a golf course green. But Fuji sees it that way.

I want that fridge! or the stuff thats in it anyways.Absolutely! Here's my current fridge stock, both expired and fresh in there but a lot of expired, lol. I think my oldest roll is from 1947, maybe.

Ii did learn that lesson with Amazon Prime Music a couple years back and was pissed.I have zero trust in anything digital. Apple TV, I could watch the movie fot $5, or I could buy it for $20. I bought 1 movie and 5 years later, it is gone, no recourse. Everything digital is only a marketing plan. You never own anything, it'll disappear without notice, might as well leave the front door unlocked. I'll be doing another run of printing this week to get that permanrnt hardcopy record for my grandkids.

Funny thing is, where I live, my doors are never locked. I use digital everything. I don't buy many movies, I have since my son receives google play cards for christmas so we buy them for him. We pay for netflix, a little app called canada tv (gives us 12 canadian tv channels), and stack tv on prime. We do not have a home phone or cable we saved over 100 dollars a month cutting the cords, and still have all the channels we watched with our 150 dollar cable package.I have zero trust in anything digital.

They scan them themself, they are using mostly Epson. I do know a guy that still has a Screen PMT scanner that he wet mounts.Ask them where they are getting them scanned. Quality is hard to find.

I have a good Epson flatbed scanner but I am not satisfied with the results. I have several banker's boxes full of stuff I would like to high-res scan.They scan them themself, they are using mostly Epson. I do know a guy that still has a Screen PMT scanner that he wet mounts.

What model scanner. I was looking at the v600 to start with.I have a good Epson flatbed scanner but I am not satisfied with the results. I have several banker's boxes full of stuff I would like to high-res scan.
Most of what I print is in the 30x40 range so resolution and fidelity is of prime importance.
My friends all use the V850. Not cheap, it does have a 4.0 density range.What model scanner. I was looking at the v600 to start with.
