No digitalising setup, so mostly images posted are hand-held phone snaps of silver halide prints; often small, straight test ones.

My suggestion is that every day they broadcast a five minute clip of Trump entirely unedited from one of his recent speeches or press conferences. The reality is that the BBC has too often, through editing, made him appear more coherent than he is.

Yes.
Out of the two formats, I think I prefer the X Pan rendition, but I have never been naturally drawn into super wide letterbox (horizontal or vertical) imagery.
Not my thing, really .... but very interesting.

I suspect there will be very deep, disgusting compromat lurking. Horrid specimen.

Double-X is a super film. I tested 5 or 6 rolls about 3 years ago ...... but it seems rare now. A pity.

Thanks Peter. I only do BnW ... so, if I go down some sort of scanning route, I would keep it as simple as possible.

From an observer in UK ..... keep going, Sir. Trump will sink soon, I hope.

Ooow. Thanks, Peter. That looks interesting.
And use my tripod! Of course! - for starters anyhow.
Maybe I will give it a go. I may even try using the DSLR to photo my prints, as I think my hand-held shakey phone ones are not doing them any favours. Reflections from the pearl finish paper are ugh.

I am seeing my son at Christmas as he visits. He is about a century ahead of me on these things. I have a simple Android tablet (using it for this) ..... so he will advise me on a simple SD card plug in to the USB socket, maybe?
It will be his Xmas project! 😁

I suppose it is possible. I could borrow my wife's near unused old Nikon D80, get hold of a small light source / pad, and a copy stand, but I do not even have a PC! I am such an IT ignoramus, I think I would have to enrol in evening classes for old people to learn about everything! 😂😂😂

Haha ..... no matter if he was edited dozens of times, you could not make his rambling any more coherent or comprendable.
Would this "action" likely end up in front of a UK jury?

That is super, Peter.
When I see the great clarity you are posting on here, with the detail in this image as a fine example - it makes me very conscious of my phone snap method of posting my prints seems very inadequate. My version of the scanner being a 6 year old, bottom range phone!
