A v900/950 would be nice but low chance. I recently started doing fluid mount scans on my 700 and I am really liking the results I am getting. I scan "RAW" linear tiffs as well that that is the way to do. I use VueScan and I feel it gives you much more control over the scanner. One little feature that I like is that you can tell the scanner to make multiple passes when scanning a image.
@@SathyaPeacock I was confused by your process. Normally I develop, apply stop wash (typically water), then fixer and then rinse for 10 minutes, I was under the impression that you don’t rinse due to the environmental effects which concern me as well. But do you dump the fixer and that’s it? Or store it for proper disposal? What is your workflow for developing? (I am looking in some fixers you can reuse). But I never heard of not washing since it is the step that removes the silver (and therefore not good for the environment). If you could share your overall workflow (which you have) with respect to leaving the last long water rinse out, I would be curious. You may have the answer to my problem.
@@burneshollyman2621 I do rinse/wash in the end. Instead of running water for a few minutes, I fill up the tank 3 times for BnW (with 5,10 & 20 inv) and 7 times for c41 (just fill and empty) and empty these into a separate tank which is also disposed with the council.
Hi James, I would set it to 2.4 as the amount of light let in by a lens doesn’t change depending on the format. It’s only the depth of field that changes for any given focal length depending on the format. Hope that helps.
You are not washing enough with the insertions. Was with flowing water for 20min at room temp. You may not notice any difference now, but long term you will.
I am sorry this is a myth about having to wash film in running water! I have been developing film for 40 years and modern emulsions do not need to be washed for so long with no noticeable difference being visible. I have used the three wash, with increasing numbers of inversions, for 10 years and my negatives are as good now as when first washed.
Like your video..really great information explanation and demonstration !
Thanks a lot!
Just found your videos, im a fan. I just started my large format journey and can relate with your topics! Thank you 🙏
Thank you! Glad you like them. All the best with your LF journey

Multiple passes are a nice option for sure
Really interesting! great work explaining it so clear and with plenty of details.
Thanks man! glad that the explanations were clear :)
Fab videos! I wish I had seen this when I started 4x5. If you don't do an after wash, what do you do?
Are you referring to the stabilisers? From what I understand modern film stocks do not need them. Thank you for watching!

Hey, I wanted to ask about metering on the Pentax 67. If I shoot wide open on the 105mm f2.4, should I set my metering app (lghtr) to f 2.4 or f1.2?

What frame holder are you using for the scans?
Hi Chris, it's the one that came with the Epson V850. Not a fluid mount.
@@SathyaPeacock Okay-thanks!

They updated the tank to 6 sheets. Has anyone tried this
Certainly an exciting development!
