Greetings Russ! I don't know what you are missing .....I would use film on this one and have it printed traditionally. There isn't enough info in your post on what the "job" is though, to make much further comment. My advice is to use your digit on the film cams shutter release button until you can afford the proper film scanner. I do not believe all jobs or work should be captured solely digital. jmho -Bobbie > Subject: Hands of Time.......................... > Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2003 22:16:08 -0400 > From: Russell Baker <rebphoto@pronetisp.net> > To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students > <photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu> > > Hi Gang.................... > > > As I have mentioned before It seems as if > shortly I will be attempting to move into > doing photography digitally. > > [per all my questions about the Olympus E-10] > > I was at first thinking of continuing to use film > and scan it and then print it digitally or have > photo type prints made from the scans. > > And as cost was an issue I was looking into > using a flatbed scanner such as a Epson 2450. > (now the 3200 I believe) > > But there is the thing that baffles me....... > > As I understand it, it takes about > 12 minutes to scan a 6x7 negative. > > On Tuesday I am shooting 13 people > using 120 film (10 exposures). > > One roll per person. > > 130 exposures.............................. > > Where in the world would anyone have > the time to scan all those negatives to make > proofs.............. > > Sure I understand that maybe a few > shots on each roll may not be "keepers", > but still that's a lot of negatives............. > > It sure seems easier and less time consuming > to just go digitally form the start. > > Or am I missing something here? > > > > Russ > R.E.
