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 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

It's liking people blurting out the sports results on facebook...

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

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.

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.
