I bought one to use with my D500 and the Tamron 150-600 lens. I am totally amazed at the distance/sharpness .

Love it!

I am in need of a camera bag with wheels for traveling. My back pack gets too heavy running through airports and hauling in and out of motels. The size would have to comply with carry-on bags for flights. I have looked at local camera stores and they don't seem to carry them. I am looking on line, and it is hard to tell what they are really like. Are these a rare item? Thank you for any input or suggestions.

Thanks for the first hand information.

Great website and comparison. Thanks again.

Thank you rpavich.

I hear a lot of positive comments on the V600 photo scanner. Anyone have experience with the V850. Is the quality worth the extra cost?

What a labor of love. Those projects are priceless for families.

[quote=uniqueharm]Not sure if this belongs here but I keep getting requests for photo scanning jobs, not sure why but thought it might be something to look into. These are people looking for 500 to 1000 photos to be scanned and possibly organized.
Does anyone have any info as to what is involved with this, what kind of equipment is needed, what to charge?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.[/quo
I just had 372 slides done and it cost me 1000.00. But most of these slides were not the standard 35 mm slides. They had a square image rather than the standard rectangular image. Therefore each slide cost me $1.00 right off the bat because they had to be scanned individually. I started with 1200 family slides and selected near 400 after throwing out the really bad ones and the landscape ones that everyone takes on vacation, but never can tell where the pictures had been taken a year or two down the road, much less 40 years. We received 4 flash drives of the 372 photos and 4 DVD's. I can just slip them into my laptop and PP any of the real special ones. Cost a lot, but absolutely priceless.

I absolutely appreciate the posts from anyone--from the most technical to the most common everyday bit of knowledge that I want to learn. Sometimes it is good to see how much you don't know---and WJSaheen, you have shown me more than i want to know for now. I don't see it as analysis paralysis or a rat hole you can't get out of, but rather as a hole of knowledge--that you peek in, go in as deep as your mind can take- and determine if it is worth the time and effort to keep going or if you just need to back out and learn from the fun part of photography--taking pictures and examining results. What i find difficult is contradictory information.

Thank you for that information Fotoartist. I was not aware of that process in Photoshop. I am probably a "third grader" in the photoshop department. I am anxious to progress to that. Maren

Thanks dpullum for that link. It sounds interesting and fun. Maren

Thank you for that. I would have never thought of that crop factor. Appreciate it. Maren

I will work on that. Thank you.

Thanks lamiaceael. That was a very helpful post. Maren
