Martin,
The scanner tinkering was done before 2005. I sold some wet mount Nikon
holders before they even were patented in the US by Grecco. I'm still
curious whether he got the idea himself or did read my messages on the
subject. For the limited scan work I do, customers and private work, the
work done then still pays off. I have seen a steady decline in scan work,
not only in my shop but in drum scanner shops too, since 2000. Hence the
flow of secondhand drum scanners here in Europe and mainly big ones like
the Heidelberg Linos, Screen, etc. I have a customer for printing that has
an Aztek but he has his films scanned in Amsterdam, to keep that scanner up
to date and in condition was more work/money than he expected. Considering
a V700 now. In Amsterdam they were interested in his scanner for repair
parts. I'm glad I did not go that route. One day the Nikon 8000 will fail,
the V700 might go too. The last could be replaced. I'm looking forward to
do more work with the high resolution cameras of tomorrow. 66 now so I
shouldn't look back too much, not even for good but old technology. Two
drum scanner manufacturers left in the world as far as I know and maybe a
handfull drum scanner shops here in the Netherlands. I have seen better
drum scans than I can make and I have seen worse drum scans, the operator
counts too.
Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst
