Just who is this mysterious cloaked poster?
We don't usually do anonymous hereabouts!
I found a Will Barton  with a diffraction photography. I think that he is UK
based???

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

Thanks for the replies, lots of great info here.

I think there's a consensus here that for 35mm film, a dedicated film
scanner is a must for any decent quality.  Medium format seems to be quite
more lenient until you need high quality scans for large prints.  I'm in
total agreement with this.  As much as I would like to accommodate 2
scanners, one for 35mm and one for 120 film, that is where I draw the line
as I would rather buy a single scanner that does both than have 2 separate
scanners, which in combination, would consume a lot more of my desk space.
I'm a little quirky that way.

So understandably I will need to decide whether scanning my own 120 film is
worthwhile, considering I shoot medium format much less than I do 35mm.
Coming from digital imaging, I value convenience and my time but also
quality so I do recognize the necessary evils of digital  
scanning requires patience.   Argh!  Choices!

Geoff Hopkinson,  I suspect we have "met" somewhere? :)
