Ooooh, Shopping!
« on: December 26, 2009, 01:42:29 PM »
So, anyone bought any bargains yet, in the after Christmas sales?

I'm on the hunt for a scanner, have been looking at the Epson V700, was hoping I might be able to pick up one at a reduced price (I am prone to delusions) but, as yet have not seen any that I would consider a bargain (again with the delusions)  anyone know of anywhere UK based?

Is it okay to discuss retailers here?


Also, where do you all buy 120 Negative holders? 

Cheers,
Sinead

hi Sinead - happy xmas.  Assuming you mean neg storage by "120 neg holders" - i get them from 7 day shop dot com or silverprint dot co dot uk.

If you mean 120 neg holders fro scanning - i make my own from  mount board.

Happy Christmas to you too Leon.

I couldn't find them on 7dayshop.  Will have another look.

I was also wondering about the scanning holders too, I've heard people saying the ones provided are a bit flimsy. 
Did you find it difficult to make your own?

I guess it depends on two things: scanner model and how rough you are with your stuff. The hinge in my holder is a bit flimsy I must admit, but with a bit of care, it's not too bad as long as you don't force anything...

As for shopping, stores officially open in 1 hour 45 minutes ;)
And I'll be hitting a few places that's for sure :)

By the way, did you find shoes to match the green Olympus?  :)
