I wonder if the use of this word is adequate.

Awaiting mine ordered one month ago

CH-01 was delivered to the Belgian Air Force in natural metal. She was flown the next day to Marshall for spraying in then European camouflage.

Unfortunately, nobody bothered to take a picture at Melsbroek.

I wonder if photographs were taken at Cambridge upon arrival.

Melvyn,

If you made that red UFO flyable, I trust that you can make anything.

Reading this thread, I also ordered the Mason’s book from Amazon.

As above explained, when scanning documents with a flatbed scanner, documents are laid on a glass panel, the light is coming from under the glass table as in an ordinary office copying machine, the lid has a white panel.

When scanning transparencies, you use an auxiliary light source located in the cover, the white cover being removed.

Friends tried a Canon flatbed to no avail.

Even if for slides, a 35mm dedicated scanner should normally work better, there is no alternative for the big sized transparents (slides or negatives)

I am just in the beginning of using my Epson but I can already state that, contrary to what was written of the French FoxAlpha photographic forum, the first tests with 35 mm slides are at least of the same quality as the scans of my very old (ten years) Nikon Coolscan II.

According to the Epson manual, the sizes for transparents read as follows:

68 x 236 mm (2,7 x 9,3 inches).

Frames are provided for 35mm film strips, four mounted 35 mm slides or 6×12 cm film frame.

The only thing, so far, not matching the manufacturers’ specs is the scanning speed at 4.800 dpi.

Willy

I am afraid that for larger negatives you have to purchase a flat bed with option for negatives and slides such as Epson Photo. The quality is of course lower than a dedicated slide scanner. I just purchased an Epson 4490 Photo for the same purpose.
