Anurag, very nice B&W and I bet you were glad to capture those on film and leaving that d800 at home. Something about historical pieces on film that adds to it (for me).
Summer is all gone but I developed a roll from this summer the other week. From a gifted Minolta 400si with Minolta 35-70 f4, fuji200, tetenal, Kodak pakon 135+ scanned, lr5 (levels, sharpening). From around the yard.

I would go stark raving mad if I let that much undeveloped film pile up. Don't get me wrong, it's the whole process I enjoy with film but if I have much more than four or five rolls to do, I get to wondering 'am I ever gonna get through?'
Earl,
I "think" I used a 2 stop GND.
I also had to some P/S work as the best I get out of a slide-scan is flat.
I use an Epson 4990 and Vuescan.
The transparencies look great, lots of shadow detail, but scenes like this don't seem to scan that well. Brightly lit is another matter.
If anyone has a Silver Fast workflow they would like to share, I would try it
Just created account to say some amazing shots here guys! Looking at these beauty, warm my soul, i even took out my old Konica Autoreflex TC with few Hexanons, bought some random film i could find in local store, i'm set up!

Well, I shot all that film in 7 days. No chance to develop it while out on holiday! Anyway, first day back home and 6 rolls are done. I'm getting there.

Thanks Jon. It certainly forced me to think before taking the images. Here are a couple more from the trip if you wish to see.

Anyone here use a Canoscan 9000F MK II? Comments? Good or bad scanner?
I think you'll need to get the BetterScanning holders - my understandings is that the Canonscan is comparable to the Epson flatbeds if your output is reasonable.
I am still tempted to get a DSLR and macro lens and just shoebox scan.
While we are in an "asking" questions mode,
I am looking for a consistent workflow for scanning transparencies with Vuescan
I have a decent one for negatives, basically Vuesan & Color Neg as described in taemo's link
But transparencies are giving me more fits. If its a brightly lit scene, usually no problem.
But with contrasty scenes like the Grand Canyon shot I just posted, I find myself trying a lot of things before I get it fixed.
