Current view on drum scanners?
"David Nebenzahl" wrote in message s.com... On 11/11/2008 2:20 PM Lawrence Akutagawa spake thus: "Airbus" wrote in message ... In article , says... Well, I don't go around making up new definitions for existing words. You don't need to - You've already invented water spray for home darkrooms! A true visionary! hmmm...so this is your logic and thinking such as to be consistent with the cited darkroom definitions? No wonder you posted here! If I might step into this little brouhaha for just a second, I think you (Lawrence) are being a bit too picky here. Now, I'm about as "strict constructionist" as you can get regarding Usenet group topics: I'm currently involved in an effort to rid r.p.e.35mm of the off-topic digital SLR posters there. (Wish me luck on that one.) But I think in this case this subject (film scanners) falls well within the purview of darkroom practice: many folks who shoot film use a "hybrid" process of developing film, then scanning and printing in the digital realm. So I believe it's not so far off topic as you make it sound. Well, David, why don't Airbus and you start an effort to start a new newsgroup "rec.photo.scanner_in_the_darkroom? |

Current view on drum scanners?

I believe so: http://www.aztek.net/premier.html http://www.icg.ltd.uk/products/drum_scanners.htm -- .~.

Aztek was always considered a sort of "entry level" player, but the fact that ICT is still a player and still offering new products is telling. Amazing that this 1930's technology strill holds its own, and indeed offers the "high end" solution in today's digital world. . . |

(Wish me luck on that one.) IMHO it's a waste of time. As long as you try someone will try to prevent you from succeeding. I think at this point you might be better off starting a group called "rec.photography.35mmfilm" or just "rec.photography.film". With the number of 35mm, APS, medium and large format posts, that are not SPAM or digital, it could cover all of them and still be a low volume group. :-( Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Honestly, I try to post to appropriate groups where possible, but "rec.photo.drum-scanners" was not on my list. I looked for pertinent groups on 'scann...' and found none that were active. Perhaps my list of usenet topic groups is outdated. Dan Burkholder is a good source of information regarding rendering of film to 'digital negatives' where scanning is one possible step. (Photographing the negative as two-bit is another and at one time the preferred. I am not up-to-date on his most recent work.) Here's some good stuff: http://www.danburkholder.com/Pages/m...main_page1.htm I don't know if this helps. |
