what computer specs for making large prints form 4x5 and 6x6 slides	27 Oct 2005 16:46 GMT	14
recently purchased an epson 4900 scanner for some of my 4x5 and 6x6 slides. My old dell computer (about 5 years old) freezes up with file sizes over 600k. If I would like to make large prints (30 or 40 or bigger) from scanned slides what would I need or look for in a new ...
Which lens is best?	27 Oct 2005 13:07 GMT	38

I just aquired some very old lens shades that contain a piece of apparently clear glass (not a diopter). They can't date any later than 1940. Were UV filters available as early as the late 1930s? Thank you

Pentax 645N lens choice	21 Oct 2005 01:52 GMT	2
Have a 45mm manual focus and a nice 80-160 AF. The 45 doesn't seem as sharp as the 80-160. Lens looks fine (no mold etc.). Is it possible the newer 45mm fa lens has improved optics over the manual version? I read that the 45 and the 35mm were supposed to be nice lenses.

The lens for medium-format seem to be very "dust-friendly" - due to their bulkiness, I guess. My question is: how big is the impact of dust on the elements of a lens to the quality of pictures taken? Are there visible effects, like blur?

In another discussion group, I was made aware of this product, which is rather dated, now. Apparently, this product was presented at a trade show... so, other than the price, what killed it? > Here's some older info :
