This scanner is likely to be a top rate bargain. We bought the 1200 version (rather than the 600) feeling that this would give better gradation for research we are doing involving old photographic prints size 15x12 which was a popular size of paper for enlargements. !5x12 is a little larger than AŁ so there was a slight loss of image at one side. We could not trim as these were archival prints.These were often curly so to get them sharp all over the scanner does need more weight on the top to flatten them. We used a piece of thin plywood cut to A3 size and put a heavy book on top. The scanner worked well and easily straight out of the box and it was in use minutes after arriving. Mustek… Read more
I am very impressed by this book. Not only does it offer a masterly and thorough account of how artists might have worked over the ages but also advances an imaginative idea that the make up of our current society and culture has been influenced by a lens oriented view. This is held to have conditioned and even restricted our notion of reality. I am currently in the middle of a PhD study on drawing machines and this book has been helpful in extending the context within which my study sits. David Hockney can justifiable claim to be one of our most original thinkers on art history as he does not only write about it but can practice it to the highest standard. Jack Tait
