I just had this image printed 40x50 on Fuji Flex, and mounted to plexi. I viewed it at the shop today, and it looked good. I'm looking forward to picking it up when it is complete. It will be for my show next month. I can't wait!
Awesome!

Wonderful saturated unclipped faithful colour. I'm jealous of the IQ you get out of LF film.
Thanks thrice. As Tim said, you can get into LF for very little money. And if you buy used on the front side, you can get back out without a big loss. You only need the following:
Camera with good bellows
Lens in a good shutter
Lensboard that matches the shutter size and camera lensboard requirement
something to meter light with
focusing loupe
dark cloth
film holder (quickload or standard)
film to match the holder
If you use standard holders, you need a changing tent and a spare box to store shot film when sending to the lab.
Nate, I know I don't want the answer to this, but was that doggy ok?
edit; Ahh actually judging by the underbite, abrasion and weird looking rear hip I'm going to say no. Makes me very sad, I had a rather traumatic experience hitting a dog, affects me terribly to this day.
I can't stand dogs.
One of my traumatic experience with dogs was while in S.Korea, I had dog that was a bit undercooked. I got a little sick.
I learned my lesson. Always ask for crispy dog.
Pentax LX with Carl Zeiss 28/2 or Voigtlander Nokton 58/1.4 on Kodak Ektachrome E100 VS.

Unfortunately that dog was dead.
Luna is terribly afraid of dogs. Me I love them, but I hate cats.
mrladewig, I'm using the Betterscanning, but have only dry mounted. I've read some saying it's not worth the hassle, other swear by it. Do you by chance have a 100% crop of the same image one dry and one wet scanned from the same holder?

Not yet, but I'm working towards that. I only have time for about 2 scans per day at this point.
I've got wet mount versus Epson holder and dry mount versus epson holder, and dry mount on the epson versus my Nikon LS-4000 (which could probably use a cleaning) but all are different images at this point.
