Ah stop Daire, you will tempt me to get another half frame!
Very nice shots.
This one is kinda neat. It's a Canon Prima Tele, it's not only switchable between half frame and full frame, masking the viewfinder appropriately, it ALSO has a dual lens. Dual lenses were popular before people had worked out how to put decent zooms into compacts. In this case you flip a switch and it goes from 35mm to 60mm, and the finder zooms as well :-D All win. Though of course it suffers from that bane of compacts, there's no way to turn off the flash :mad:0 -

Never heard of one that can switch between half and full frame, (or arguable half is the original full frame etc.)
My friend has an amusing habit of black electric taping flash on hers, she only has auto compacts.
I have been looking to get better half frame recently, my Agat lovely to use but would like another that is less a toy camera.
Not till I fix my rollei and pentax and sell a few - my rule is 1 out means 1 in.

Especially if you need to test a few new/mended cameras, handy.
Some class mates asked me to get them some if I seen it in the shop (it very rarely stocks it, and it sells out fast) so I actually have 20 in my possession which I still need to give to them. So many boxes. 0 -

I used to do it before I bought a scanner. I used a reversed (a very cheap way to get a serviceable macro) 28mm CCTV lens to take multiple shots (9, I think) and then stitched them together with Microsoft ICE.
For a backlight I used my phone on max brightness which a white background. I tried using an iPad but the DPI wasn't high enough which led to images having a screen door effect.
It took a very long time to process even 1 image, and the results aren't perfect. Vignetting was on the neg btw.

I'd recommend just buying a dedicated scanner, your time is precious.0 -

Trying b&w on my agat
Local beach to me, always has this one boat that looks like it is floating on the horizon, and very few people (when it was winter as these images are from a few months ago now).
So yeah, this has a deep feeling of "that is the beach to me".
Got a cheap film scanner, still tweaking the controls, some images seem very grainy but I get what I pay for.

i have a flatbed scanner that takes film, which is free to a good home - it's not a bad beast, main issue is that the software which canon bundled with it is not worth the CD it was printed on. does much better with decent software. canoscan 9000f; works with Win7, can't say for certain if it works with a newer OS. if anyone wants it, PM me, and i'll try to A) find the transformer for it and
confirm it powers on. 0 -

I would snap it up if it was likely to work on the newer OS, hope you find someone for it Magic.0 -
