Title: Hasselblad Flextight X5
Post by: hacimd on March 30, 2010, 05:02:22 pm

I'm hoping to find some in depth information on the Flextight x5 scanner, outside of the hasselblad website.  Any useful links  that could help me maximize its abilities  would be greatly appreciated.

I'm curious to know of a forum or site where I can read about individuals experiences with the X5 scanner, both positive and negative.  Basically, an overview of important settings to be aware of and how to get the best scan possible for large format printing.  Thank you for responding.

Roberto was just in Kansas City for a workshop and we discussed the scanning.  He uses two of the x5's  His article on 3f is great.
