I use a very old 8x10 "Cabin" branded "Light Panel". It was originally used for viewing negatives. Probably uses a fluorescent bulb - when it was made they didn't have LED tech yet - but it has a very white, even light. I'm sure any current LED light pad will be fine as long as it's putting out an even, white light. Some people even use an iPad.
A little tip on the DigitaLiza - I have the 35mm and 120 versions, and sometimes I have a tough time getting the film to lay flat and stay put if edges are curled more than normal. I have found that it makes a big difference if you don't cut the film, but slide it through as one long filmstrip. That way any curl is flattened out by the end slots. Plus, as you're scanning, you can easily slide the film through the 'Liza without opening and re-positioning for every set of frames.

I couple of quick "test" photos with the GW690iii. I have to say - that 90/3.5 MAY be the sharpest lens I've ever owned, and the bokeh is creamy-smooth. Very happy. I'm sure the huge 6x9cm negative boosts the IQ as well.
The camera seems to be working perfectly. Rangefinder patch is easier to see than I was led to believe from online reviews, and focus seems to be spot on. No light leaks. All good. The ONLY problem I'm having is finding a bag big enough to comfortably carry this beast!!! Wow. It's really big.
T-Max 100 developed in FF No.1 Monobath and "scanned" with my A7ii + Tamron SP 90/2.5 Macro (52BB).
Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn. Wide open at f/3.5
100% crop of above. NO sharpening in post. That is a sharp lens!
Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn Bridge Park. f/3.5 - Shot pretty much right into the sun.
"Eye Spy" looking toward Manhattan. MFD focused on the "eyes". f/3.5

A few shots from Sukhothai, Thailand on Provia 100F. Gloomy weather on that day, but the slide film helped a bit.

Edward, great to see the old city again! Pls. share more. Love the provia colors, great shot of the little girl and boy. Need to revisit my images from that great historical city with ancient temples.

I use a Lowepro Rezo 170 AW Camera Bag for my GW690III. It also fits a light meter as well.

Cool! I actually resurrected an old Timbuk2 small messenger bag that was being used to store stuff. The GW fits perfectly on its back in the bottom, and the bag itself is very low-key.

Took the GW690iii for another outing today with some Provia 100 F slide film loaded. Again, I'm blown away by the overall look, fine detail (even at infinity), and smooooooth bokeh. A gem.

Thanks for for the tip. Most of my film has been cut and sleeved for archival storage, but nothing a heavy book can’t solve!

Wow!! That's a lot of agitating!! Your arms must be sore... haha
I don't think I'll ever shoot C-41 again now that I've discovered Provia. I fell in love with the look shooting 35mm, then 6x6, but seeing 6x9 Provia chromes has sealed the deal for me.
That said, I do wish Kodak would release the new Ektachrome already!!! Arghh.

I don't know what is with me lately. Just not much desire to post anywhere... I will try harder. 😁
