Wow, I got my first roll back from the lab, I was using Pan50 from Ilford in my brother's Rolleiflex, the pictures are really sharp. I would love to show you all but I have not figure out how to scan the negs. I have a canon flatbed scanner with the 35mm bracket. How do I do the 6x6?

You can make a bracket or template out of thin cardboard...like the back of a writing tablet.
Just place it on the flatbed and see what happens.
Not sure which Canon you have. Does the 35 bracket lay on the flatbed or go into a special slot made for it?

Its a flatbed with 35mm template in abs plastic that lies on the glass held into place by two slots. What concerns me is the accessory that gets put on top of the negative. when scanned. It is sized for 35mm not 6x6. I will have to experiment.

Bill, I think you'll need to upgrade to a scanner meant to scan larger negative sizes. There are some nice Epson and Canon models that can do up to 4x5" and even higher.
Shorter term, you can rent MF scanners at Pikto in the Distillery District. Really good ones -- Nikon and Imacon.

Bill, Yep...ya may have a problem there. But to second Gene, there are some really nice newer flatbeds out there that do a good job with 35 and an even better job with medium format. Gene, Distillery District for a scanner? Uh...am I confused here? ? Ron Head Kalamazoo, MI

Ron Head Kalamazoo, MI They serve focusing fluid ... ;D Actually, it's an old industrial area near the heart of Toronto that was once home to a number of distilleries. Great old brick buildings and stone walkways that have been converted to modern shops. There's an excellent photo lab located there. Gene

The Distilery District sound like a great place to shop and shoot.
Any chance of seeing some pics posted of there??

I have the Canon 9950F flatbed which will scan up to 4x5. It's fairly pricey but have the price of a dedicated Nikon 30mm film scanner. Canon makes less expensive models that will scan up to 120 as does Epson. Mostly a matter of preference.

Ron, Your wish is my ................... This is one of the few remaining old buildings in the Distillery that have not yet been renovated and put to use. The Distillery was owned by Gooderham & Worts, the same Gooderham who built Toronto's Flatiron building that was posted here a month or two ago. It all started with a lowly grist mill on Mill Street at Toronto's Don River in 1831. It became the city's largest industrial complex. Mickey

Well...
Bill,
Your first could have done with a little straightening (but if that's how you saw it? !!)
The second is a beautiful photograph - everything about it works.
Last one is a nice concept. Needs some work on the
Stop right there - we are honest with each other on here - like so many of mine it needs some work on the focus!!!
The Distillery appears to be a warehouse. If it was here in Manchester, it would have been converted into apartments with a monthly rent that was above my annual salary. Is this by the docks by any chance?
Regards - John
ps Just revisited the third - blew it up a little (again) and it's focus isn't out by much at all. My apologies. Nice composition.

John,
Far too many windows for a secure warehouse but would surely make a great apartment building. It was, indeed, used as a distillery. Made of Limestone quarried near Kingston, Ont.

Thanks for the pic, Mickey!
I love to see those old buildings, and when they are renovated as original...even if apartments inside or what...the history is still rather preserved.

Another old building. I have no idea of its history. It rests in Serena Gundy Park, a series of floodplain ravines that run through the valley of the Don River from north of Toronto down to the shore of Lake Ontario. And west to Niagara Falls if one has the stamina. I love to bicycle through them as the hills are gentle enough for my old legs. Fujifilm 3800 camera. It set itself. I guess that is what is meant by a no brainer. Mickey
