  1. Anyone know how long the wait at Dayne’s typically is?
  2. I love scanning old Kodachromes. Bringing old photos back to life is pretty neat. Some examples.
  3. Nice, that should work pretty well, especially being adjustable.
  4. Yeah, that’s likely too (the light source). My current light has three temps of light which makes it easy to get a better base. I dunno the light temps, but it says this. The Cool Light mode reduces the orange mask that is present in color negative film like CineStill 800T, 400D, and 50D, providing color balanced scans with better color separation and less noise. The White Light mode is ideal for scanning black and white film, as well as slide film that has been processed with the warm-tone dilution of the CineStill D9 DynamicChrome 1st Developer. Lastly, the Warm Light mode is perfect for scanning standard E6 (or CineStill D6 DaylightChrome) processed slide film, as the tungsten-balanced light can produce richer tones and enhanced color separation, especially within the red channel. When scanning Kodachrome slides, I find the “White Light” mode is best.
  5. Big reason I invested in a DSLR setup, even though it costs much more than a decent flat bed scanner or a PlusTek, is because it’s just a million times faster. Dust can be a problem, yes, but it’s still just blazing compared to other methods.
  6. I use a plug-in with Lightroom (negative lab pro) which makes it incredibly easy, but you can start with just inverting the black and white points. It will of course make adjustments backwards, though.
  7. I use my 5DIV with a 100mm 2.8 Canon macro lens on a tripod with ballhead and a macro rail to do the actual scanning. This is the actual entire kit I have. https://cinestillfilm.com/products/valoi360-complete-bundle-for-camera-scanning
  8. I do. If you wanna do it super cheap you can use this just on top of a light source by itself. It’s expensive for what it is but makes it easy. I have the entire Valoi 360 setup which has been pricey but pretty great. https://cinestillfilm.com/products/valoi360-120-film-holder I also have this which I don’t use anymore after getting the Valoi. It’s okay but the film holders are not nearly as good (for slides it’s awesome though). https://cinestillfilm.com/products/sunray-copybox-ii-scanning-film-workflow-set
  9. Most, if not all drivers feel this way.
  10. Well, the Lexus GX has always been a rebadged Toyota (Land Cruiser Prado), so we are getting pretty meta here. But the Prado is a BoF chassis (FJ Cruiser is also built on it). All that said, it’ll just be on TNGA-F like every other new Toyota.

    Hell yeah. I have: A G+ ish 2 sided Monarch A VG ish 2 sided Presswell A VG+ ish RL/LH Terre Haute. And really the LH sides are still RLs, they just don’t say RL, so they can be had for cheaper (until recently, but still cheaper than a true double RL). Also previously had 3 beater copies (1 double sided Monarch and 2 RL/LH Terre Haute) that I found in the wild, but sold. The first Japanese press actually rips pretty hard, too. Not like an RL, but damn good.

    Sick. Which pressing plant is your RL?
  13. I use my AirPods Pro 2 for work every day and they’re awesome.
  14. It’s Jabroc. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=6180
  15. Where’s the money, Lebowski!
  16. Also, I believe that FOM is running the cameras this year (Monaco was always the only circuit to do TV operations themselves).
  17. Also +1 for ARB. My FJ has one. It’s one of the few that actually goes thru crash testing.
  18. I’m sorry, Damor. Fuck cancer.
  19. Thanks. Doing okay. One day at a time. I sometimes feel that my side effects might be on the worse side of the spectrum for my regimen, but hey, what can you do. There’s a few I don’t have, so I’ll take that as a win.
  20. Looks pretty good to me, Mr. Swayze. I haven’t been able to go shoot anything, but I have a metric fuckload of slides I could scan. Lots of old locomotives, some stuff from Japan, some old National park stuff, etc. Maybe I’ll get around to that.

    It’s allegedly the largest record fair in the US. I assume it’s pretty good.
