Thanks Amano.

I have an Epson V750 scanner. It seems to be the best for the money. After I bought it I found out that the local camera shop uses one to scan their custom work. I'm happy with it and I found it on Ebay for about $400. I think it was returned merchandise.

It's hard to explain the Lensbaby thing. The front tilts but the back doesn't. When you get selective focus that way, it's hard to make a consistent strip across the shot. It puts a curve to it. Tilt miniature needs the compensation that you can provide by equally tilting the back. I hope that's understandable.

Anyway, have fun with the 4X5. It's very rewarding to work for each exposure. Where do you post your work?
