Everybody is good enough, including yourself. You have to try to love it. If you can produce a perfect exposure on transparency films, digital is "chicken feet."

Too bad their film division isn't doing as well as Fuji's.

Which other two?

My all time favorite camera is my trusty 1967 Seagull TLR camera which used to belong to my father. It is also my very first camera when I started photography at the age of six. No complicated metering system, no fancy features, just plain, simple camera.

Black-and-white Neg Films: TMX and TMY Color Neg Films: Fuji NPS, NPH, Fuji Superia 200 and 400, Kodak Portra series, Gold 200 and Max. Color Transparency Films: Fuji Velvia 100, Provia F, Reala, Sensia, Kodak Ektachrome and Kodachrome (for that classic look).

Hey dude, It is you again! You seem to have a thing against me. Can we sit down together some time, have beer and talk? First of all, I say "some" distortion problems. Of course what is in a lens cannot be cured by having either large or small formats. We can tweak a little in Photoshop. But I...

Hey dude, Why so worked out? I am referring to get a scan from either drum or Flextight. I did not advice him to purchase one. I, too, cannot afford them myself. Hee...hee... However there is a Howtek in my office. I can always use it.

Or, you can look for your favorite uncle at your friendly neigborhood. I am sure they have fonts CDs for about $10 each.

After having second thoughts, I may not distribute printed materials during the workshop. A colleague of mine warns that I may run into some copyright issues with the original authors of those articles.

espn & jbma, Isn't it obvious that if you want to "cure" some of that distortion problems, use a large format camera. I do not see anything wrong with this statement. You can put on a Leaf back if you want digital.

Otherwise, use a large format camera.

Sorry. I like to keep my workshop small. As I had mentioned earlier. I want everyone to concentrate on the workshop rather than to worry about others trumbling on their precious equipment.

A drum scan is the only way to go if you want the ultimate image quality. Had a Nikon Coolscan 8000 ED, sold it a year ago at a real bargain. Go for drum or Flextight instead.

They both cannot substitute each other. If I am to bring one, I will take the reflector.
