Very moving pictures of this powerful "memorial".

Bought a 'new' scanner, old Minolta Dimage Scan Dual, seems to be doing an admirable job for its age, older negs don't half attract dust mind!
Get yourself some PEC fluid and pads. It is costly but goes a very long way and well worth the time saved dust-spotting images.

I like the results you've got from the BW400CN. I tried the Fuji equivalent recently and was pretty disappointed with how they turned out - very gritty and poor contrast. Might have to give that Kodak a spin instead. ...
I really like the Kodak film although it pays to "over expose" it a little. I usually set my ASA dial to 320...

Sadly, Kodak have discontinued this film in medium format. I got the last roll at Adorama and 7dayshop couldn't get me any.

I tried black and white (of course ) but couldn't get a conversion I liked. How about this version where I have toned down the greens and brightened up the red and oranges?

Thanks all. That road is the drive to my home!

The second one is a 5 image HDR processed in Photomatix Pro. Did anyone suspect/spot that?

Best wishes, Kris.

You can pick hand held lightmeters cheaply enough too. I was never very good with the sunny 16 thing... The Lubitel 166 is pretty horrible, the older Lubitel 2 has a much better lens and no vignetting. My only criticism is that it doesn't wind the film through square so the scans end up with a little triangle of black on one edge. My Yashica Mat-124 G is a much better TLR but it is much bigger and heavier. Personally, I am planning on getting a 67 one day but like Hefty I shall hold out for a good example.

Cheers, Kris.

Life force for me Andrew although they all have lovely colour and texture. That kit zoom isn't that bad is it?

Well I was tempted to bid but I would not have bid that much! Nice sale, hefty, I hope you're pleased? Should make a good contribution to the 6x7 fund?

Best wishes, Kris.
