OK, I think we are going to see more and more manufacturers jump on this bandwagon:
Does anyone know more about this Yashica EZ F521? Article also from the November 2009 issue of Nippon Camera. Looks like I gotta make a trip to Tokyo soon to check all this new stuff out.

Wow. Is this a first or is it just me that has never heard of CV lenses for SLRs? Also from the November 2009 issue of Nippon Camera magazine:
Color Skopar 20mm F3.5 SL II Aspherical ZE and Ultron 40mm F2 SL II Aspherical ZE
Nice!

One of my monthly highlights is picking up the most recent issue of Nippon Camera magazine from my local Japanese bookseller. There’s more in depth coverage of the Leica M9 in this November 2009 issue. Here’s an excerpt of the article:
Does the image from the M7 look a little under exposed to you guys? I take it that “RAP F” was the film used: FujiFilm RAP 135-36 Fujichrome Astia 100-F Prof Color Slide Film. If one of you reads Japanese would be good to know what that text caption on the right says.
UPDATE November 23, 2009:
A native Japanese speaker was kind enough to translate the caption to the right of the photos:
“Both images are taken with the same focal length but there’s big difference on exposure rate around the edge. But such film camera’s image may be good,too.”
Yes I agree that the film camera image is good too!

This is Part 2 of the Color Management series. For an overview of color management covered in Part 1 please refer to this link here.
To select the right color profile for your scanner first open the application that was included with the scanner. I have the Epson V700 so the application panel looks like this:
To access the color profile settings click the “Configuration” or similar labelled button.
Last step is to select the “Adobe RGB” target profile from the drop down list. And now your scanner is correctly color profiled!
For setting up Photoshop color profiling please refer to the Computer Darkroom tutorial.
