Serendipity that I've been scanning some old roll film negatives today whilst I've still got an old laptop with windows 2000 and my old Epson flatbed with photo scanning head that will do up to 5" x 4"

Thanks Gary, yes, that's the sort of result that I struggle to emulate with digital, with does leave me somewhat dissatisfied. They are virtually unmanipulated scans, some sharpening after scanning, and resizing, little else.

PS, plenty of spotting for dust and scratches, how could I forget that

This is the Dar Pomorza, built in Germany in 1909 docking in Plymouth some time in the late 1970's. She was decommissioned in 1982 and has been a floating museum in Gydnia since then.





These would have been taken with a Mamiya 330f. Paul will see that the tugs are Bristol registered, Cory Towage having taken over the Plymouth civilian tug services from WJ Reynolds in the mid 1970's. Reynolds were the last fleet of coal fired tugs in the UK, so Cory's transferred tugs from elsewhere to replace them.

Have you checked the whole page Paul? more where that came from. I certainly gelled more with my roll film cameras than I've done with anything since.
