Does the lens produce the artifact at all focal lengths and is the artifact always in the same place? It looks a bit like a dust spot on the sensor from the image you have posted and if so, with care, can be dealt with!

Agree about the pano format and the two figures. We have enjoyed several walks in the area (although not recently); a great place for some great photos!

Have had it since 2003 and it still gets used - although not that often as I don't have much time to use it.

Thanks for the info; I have a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 (35mm slides and negs only). Minolta's own software left lines in the scan when doing multi-sampling. Thankfully Hamrick's Vuescan works far better. I have noticed that it won't allow too much push processing though!

What a marvelous set of images! Autumn Lake, Autumn Colours, Church and Rondane 1 for me!
Out of interest, how much can you push processing from the scanned images - in terms of curves etc - before they 'break up'?

Different and liked (if I could!). Monotone grime and scuff marks work a treat IMO.

Really like both these John. That combo has given a really good image in the first shot (as well as exhibiting a steady hand!)

How did the inserts work on the LX (sorry for the ignorance )
You can replace the LX standard back with the data back. Inside the LX is a small rotating blind which blanks off one corner of the negative. When you take a photo, a light imprints the clock face (or the memo) onto the film. Not that useful these days where digital has replaced film for scientific recording purposes, but useful back in the day when taking record shots.

Very interesting! Thanks Kris
