Still have my darkroom stuff with an ancient Durst D 659 that can handle 
up to 6 x 9 but never find time to use it

All pictures except an occasional digital snapshot is with film cameras

Film cameras are Fuji 680, Hasselblad 500 CM and SWC, 2 x Canon Eos and 
Leica M6 and for softer images and fun old cameras like Zeisss Ikon, 
Rollei TLR, Olympus Pen and stuf like that. I dont like the EOS cameras 
but they are strong tools and have never let my down.

I scan my pictures for web on Micotek and Mirage scanners and pictures 
for pro-use i have my slides scanned on a heidelberg drum scanner.

70 % color slides agfa RSX II - 20 % Agfa Scala BW and 10% Agfapan APX BW

Im currently looking at the Imacon Ixpress back and The Imacon scanner 
but Im still not convinced so as long as Im not forced into digital i 
will stay on film - I would not like to sell of any of my cameras 
because they cover my needs in a good way.
