RE: filmscanners: MF scanner for 120 strips

["LAURIE SOLOMON" <LAURIE@advancenet.net>]

Bob, I agree that the customer can tell the lab how they would like the film
returned and thereby change the game for themselves ( e.g., a departure from
the labs standard practices); but this does not necessarily impact on the
game planes commonly used by the labs, which I suppose is what Minolta would
be looking at in making their design decisions for their scanners.

However, in Tomasz's case, a point which I neglected when responding to him
which he pointed out is that He is in Poland and not North America so lab
practices might be different there.

Laurie,

You are absolutely right about this.   However,  the big boys can change the
rules, and the game for that matter, whenever they want because it's their
game.   That's what's happening here.
My processor sends my 120 roll film back uncut because that's what I TELL
him do do.  When I purchase a medium format scanner it will have to handle
roll film or at least film strips.


Tomasz,

I agree with you.  Why cut roll film up into individual frames?  I wouldn't.
