Hello Barry:
I tried to send a message off the list in the original thread but was
returned by the server.
You must be happy with your resources.
Perhaps we got to wait for a better color reference target as Klaus
Karcher did, but a workflow where the capture device is a medium
format DSLR is the best relationship between price and quality if you
(I'm in the situation) haven't access to 4x5" or greater slide sheet
or don't want work with it for time consumption in the timeout for
developing and verification. Other thing is that you can afford a drum
scanner. You can compare "a few dozen an hour" with the production of
a large format camera of a few dozen (more) a day. I can capture one
hundred 35mm color slides per hour, individualy focused and exposed
and can go faster with monochrome and color negative strips. With
bigger photographic materials is slower. But when capture pieces of
art, framing, iluminate, focusing, shot color reference chart
(ColorChecker SG and Kodak Q14) at the best aperture for the lens,
verify the light condition and shot, twelve captures per hour is a
good result. If the piece of art is fixed to the wall takes other
timing.
The question here is money. Are you going to capture for general
purpose without compropise or a "definitive" capture. The two are the
same if we consider conservation but you must do that with the best
combination of harware, software and consumables you can buy. In this
sense there are rich brother and poor brother.
It seems like you have a external service to do the job, and I could
suggest that a "well profiled" photographer can do all the job as
institution staff member as curators, archivist, restorers,... that
can work closely with designers, print service and others. In the
actual configuration, leaving the maths to the software, am a
custodian, photographer, editor and proof printer at a (little)
institution, one-man band.
If it serves, having in mind that is refered to photographic
conservation and distributing photographic collections, take a look at
