I'm really impressed with the quality and I'm very relieved black and white images don't have a colour cast.

Rediscovering the joys of printing my images at home with a little Canon dye sublimation printer, max 6"x4" but better than nothing at all.

Two 6x17 pinhole cameras.
One flat. One curved
Does it make a big difference???🤭😀

I'd like an edit function but I guess it could be misused? restricting it to not allowing edits to a post once someone had 'liked' or reposted it would work.

That's good there are W10 drivers, have a look on YouTube for a tutorial on using VMware Player (it's free) to run Windows 10, the concept is the same for running most operating systems. Hopefully you will have your Plustek up and running in the not too distant future🤞
22.02.2026 17:25 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0My computer wouldn't run the old Epson 32 bit drivers so I installed Windows XP via virtual machine software so that it runs from inside Windows 11, you could do a similar thing if you can find the Plustek drivers. It takes a bit of time to get setup but is working fine. I like a challenge 😊

Sunday afternoon shenanigans. Win XP running in a virtual machine to get outdated Epson scanners software working so I can digitise 59 year old 35mm Kodachrome slides on my old Perfection 2450. #filmphotography 📷

Picked up this unnamed chunk of brass and glass, 180mm F5.6 on the plus side it looks like it will cover 5"x4" film, downsides are the aperture blades are stuck as is the lens board retaining ring. 📷 #photography #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited

Well the home made camera works, 5x4 paper negatives as proof.
