I thought about that and thought I wouldn't need a no as I could look at the views and assume the nos?
Feel free to add a no option John, if you're able to, not sure I can do it now.

Incidentally, Drum scanning is the only way to get the full dynamic range and resolution from your film. A lot of services only offer low resolution, or flatbed scans. So you get noisy, soft results that any cheap digital could out-perform.

Please help me out here.
Would you try out a new, high resolution, high DR drum scanning service?
What would make you jump-ship from your current method/supplier?
Thanks
Mark

I've done it a few times on Digital using an old body cap with a 5mm hole and foil or drinks can aluminium with a pin hole. Use very fine wet and dry to polish the hole. I think the smaller, rounder, and thinner the hole, the better.
I also used two tubes like a telescope to create a telephoto of sorts. The results were predictable and interesting.
Didn't feel the need to do it for anything other than curiosity

I find it distracting (over-used word here).
I have a default position with editing: remove anything distracting or unsightly that's temporary like spots, or that's caused by my lighting putting essentially invisible things into stark relief.
If my brief is to capture a particular texture or appearance for posterity, that would be different.
BTW, I prefer it cropped tighter - less head.
Essentially a nice image imo

The centre 'floor' is removable and the camera section has a number of compartments whose walls can go in a variety of configurations. Or you could separate the body from the lens for traveling.
I carry my entire wedding kit, including flashes umbrellas and two bodies in that bag and arrive on the motorbike.
It has no outer straps, but my tripod goes through the carry handle and sits in the front net pocket for hiking.

This is the one I'm talking about. Very happy with it and it doesn't look too 'camera baggy'.
