First tests with medium format, with the new-to-me soviet beauty. Finally got my hands to a economical flatbed capable of medium format, in this case an old canoscan 8000f. It doesn't have recent drivers, so my current workaround is a VM running Win 7 – might write SANE drivers for it at some point if it doesn't prove too difficult a task. Resolution is low (2400dpi) but enough for medium format since there's more to work with (I already have a dedicated machine for 135), and it's not like more recent flatbeds are much better in terms of real optical resolution. What these have got going for them is the price, got mine for 15 €.

No idea about old film cameras but as a layperson this looks like a really old photo. Had to give it a triple take and the thing that gave it away is the newish Mercedes.
