I rather like the muted contrast, yet good tonal range you´ve got here. And frame no two especially.

These look great! I'm in need of a scanner and this one looks pretty promising.

Thank you, sirs. The scanner was $127 shipped from BH ...

That plain ol' D76 recipe for Tri-X/Arista Premium 400 does well: D76 1:1, 10 minutes at 68F/20C, 5 seconds easy spin agitation (Paterson reel, tank, spinner) every minute ...

like the second one most. like the old-school play with light in the background--and controlled contrast (as was pointed out in an earlier post).

Thanks ...

Nice shots!

The 4490 does a very good job. I have had mine for about a year. You would really have to pay a lot more to get better scanning. Fast too; scanning for 30x40 cm in 360 dpi is less than 2 min. Had a Canon scanner before that took 20 min. to do the same job :bang:

Which lens did you use for those shots?
