Hi I've been looking at Douglas's scanned images and I would really like to know how they were scanned. I have rather a lot of slides and negatives that I would like to scan but I not sure what the best and reasonably affordable method is. Currently I'm using an Epson 4870 flatbed with film carriers but it is slow, the Nikon Coolscan 9000 looks good but expensive for extra carriers. The other option is to put the canon on a Multiblitz or Elinchrom duplicator and copy the slides at 1to1 ratio. Any help or suggestions that you can will be greatly appreciated except for those with unpleasant language.

Getting a repainted black M2. Time to shop for M lenses. However, I still want to keep R6.2 in mind. Will try to find a decent one. For now, my R lenses will go together with my Canon 5Dm2. Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:05:41 -0700 From: speleo_karst@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [LRflex] Re: Newbie intro To: leicareflex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I wouldn't recommend an R4S because it is akward to use with manual metering. I had one, but "upgraded" to an R4 just for that reason. BTW, my R4 has one of the "bad" serial numbers but has been completely reliable in the three years I've had it. Another possibility to consider is a Leicaflex SL or SL2 instead of the R6.2. You get a larger and heavier beast, but a better viewfinder and many other things.

The rider has her tongue between her teeth in concentration, The depth of field covers the sharpness of both the horse's head/face and the rider. usually one or the other can be soft in this on coming type action. You must be amassing a fine collection of rodeo pictures. I'd hope you are also watching for the sponsor logos behind and around the actions purely as "FOR SALE" images to said sponsors. Or media requests as well as stock images. And every week when you have your usual smashing photos you contact every sponsor with photos you have with their name clearly visible in the frame. This is no different than skating championships where we always tried for best action with a name sponsor logo behind the skaters. It can make extra dollar return from every event. Not to forget contacting the sponsor shown, as well as finding out who their primary advertising agency is beyond this local rodeo. .. In particular "who has their main National or international adverting account?" Once again another fine action photograph! Actually it must look great as a 13X19 size print! As you go from one rodeo to the next, do you take an 8.5X11 print in envelope ready for immediate sale to the riders, families and friends? Many of them must do the circuits every weekend so have a print along can automatically put dollars in your pocket. Besides, by now you must becoming "THE RODEO SHOOTER OF THE DAY!" to competitors and crowds so they' almot automatically expect you to come along with a photo of thm in action. Trust me they don't always have to be the "million dollar shot"! :-) I did this in the good old days of stock car racing and quite often came home with an $100 bucks just from selling 8X10's to the drivers and pit crews. And from orders for prints I'd deliver the next week race.
