The images on the site are saved as 1000px square jpegs at 80% quality and average 200-400kb. The scanner is an Epson Perfection V750. Its about the least expensive 120 option available - the Nikon film scanner would be optimal but its about £2.5k :( I use the V750 with the holder from <a href="http://www.betterscanning.com/scanning/models/vseries.html" rel="nofollow">Betterscanning</a>, the Epson holder is very flimsy and doesn't inspire confidence. If you can, make the move to MF, I don't think you would regret it. You will need a scanner though! The full size images are between 50-100Mb tiffs!

I use the V750 with the holder from Betterscanning, the Epson holder is very flimsy and doesn’t inspire confidence.

If you can, make the move to MF, I don’t think you would regret it. You will need a scanner though!

In particular the wheelbarrow shot. The results you get are fantastic. Even the full size images show hardly any grain. You must have a really good scanner. I'm so tempted to move to medium format after seeing this. Great series, perfectly suited to B&W film. In particular the wheelbarrow shot.

The results you get are fantastic. Even the full size images show hardly any grain. You must have a really good scanner.

I’m so tempted to move to medium format after seeing this.
