Getting the hang of the 4870 |
|
|
Day two, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.
I am starting with some medium-format negatives that
my grandfather shot in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Here's a Pitcairn Autogyro:

I think it's a pretty neat photo.

Yes, I agree, very nice. What kind of negative was it? 6x9 or even bigger?

Cool picture! I don't think I would want fly in that though!
You might consider making a copy of your scans, downsampling them to the
same dimension but at only 96 dpi, and then using this smaller file size
just to post to the web. They will load much faster for people visiting
your site and still look just as good on screen.

Ok, I confess: I am secretly in the pay of the broadband industry.

It's a sprocketless film that is about 70mm wide.
According to Wikipedia, that probably makes it 130 or A-130:
