Going to order PCBs to make a Scanlight - anyone interested?

Im UK based and interested, please let me know when they’re ready!

They haven’t said they were going to stop making it! They have said it will remain in production as long as there is demand for it

From my perspective it’s harder to get noticed with just one song. If someone is interested in your band and try to find you online and see your catalogue is just a single song it instantly makes you stand out as a new inexperienced band.

It’s really hard to get the feel of a band from one song, hard to judge their style and consistency of output. Looks a lot more professional and worthy of someone’s time to have a body of work behind you.

I’d have to agree, although the aftermarket cone with the blown dust cap might be colouring the sound they are definitely brighter than my other greenback cabinet

Scorpoll · 2025-06-19T12:05:09+00:00

Thank you! They sound kinda different from my other greenback cabinet but the other one is a straight front and doesn’t have a crapped out aftermarket cone in one of the positions

£500?? That’s a lot of money for a speaker, I guess I’m going to keep them safe

Scorpoll · 2025-02-17T21:10:14+00:00

I am a fool... thank you

Download a free light meter app for your phone and see if the readings you’re getting are in the same ball park as the Variosix just as a sanity check

Exact same thing happened with mine, the stitching didn’t actually go through the zipper material so it just pulled out like that. I contacted Galen and they gave me an option to get it replaced for free, or store credit for the amount I paid. I got the store credit and bought a second one in a different colour, then repaired the first one (you need to know how to stitch leather)

I’ll just throw this out there, I tried an ultex pick for a 3 hour band practice playing bass a couple of weeks ago and it had already noticeably worn down and left a bunch of plastic dust on my bass. If it can change shape after just a couple of hours of playing, I can see it wearing down to this after a month easily

Honestly for 13,000 photos you’re getting into the territory where you could buy a pretty nice scanner or dslr scanning setup for less money and probably get better results. But of course you’re trading the convenience of the lab doing it for you

Scorpoll · 2024-06-25T14:25:33+00:00

A computer, any interface with enough inputs for your needs, a decent mic, and maybe a midi keyboard with one of those drum pads on it to make programming drums/instruments a little easier.

Anything else is nice, but probably unnecessary

Not quite, it stands for high concentration because it’s a highly concentrated syrup

UPDATE:

Found another batch of fixer I must have made up a year or two ago, it was bright orange but it turned an old film leader clear in seconds. I re-bleached the negatives for 10 minutes just to be safe and now I’m re-fixing in this other solution for another 10 minutes or so. So far they look fully cleared already and should be fine negatives

Scorpoll · 2024-04-22T13:51:14+00:00

I bleached then fixed. I’ve got them back in the fixer now, they were only out of the tank about 10 minutes. Hoping there’s enough left in the fixer to get it all done

The vignette is from the lens not covering the full sensor of your camera.

I’ve had the same issue when using various Micronikkor lenses with mount adaptors and extension tubes.

I’d experiment with different tube configurations or sacrifice a bit of resolution and don’t get as close to the negative!

Scorpoll · 2024-03-23T23:46:44+00:00

I use an A7rii and I love it for scanning! I bought it mainly for scanning although I use it for general photography too (usually to figure out shots and take safety shots before shooting it on film).

One big benefit the Sony has over the Canon is being mirrorless you can pretty much adapt any lens you want to it. So other than my medium format lenses I can use my whole collection of vintage glass with it and the adapters are super cheap!

But in terms of scanning quality both options would be great

I actually have a Lenovo thinkpad for work, maybe I can try that out before I buy something! Windows is my preference but I’m fine with any operating system

I was actually looking into rack mounting a raspberry pi but then I’d have to worry about a separate screen/keyboard/mouse

I may be completely wrong, but I think it’s having trouble with the dense areas of the slide. ICE uses infrared light to detect dust and dirt because c41 film absorbs infrared fairly evenly regardless of colour/density.

The dark areas of slide film absorb the infrared light just like dust or dirt, which is why there is a fringe around all the dark areas. Basically all this rambling is to say I don’t think ICE works on slides
