[Digital BW] Re: UltraBase

2001-11-20 by Martin Wesley

Peter,

I did buy a pack and I am using it with my Linoscan 1400 to scan 4x5 
negatives at 1200 dpi. I do not see anything in the scans from the 
UltraBase but I don't consider myself an expert in this either.

I have all the materials for wet mounting with Kami fluid but have 
not tried it yet. When I do I will post a comparison with the 
UltraBase.

Wish I had more scanner resolution. Someday a Polaroid 45 Ultra maybe.

Martin Martin
