Am I correct in thinking that the Canon LiDE400 is the best reasonably cheap flatbed scanner that works easily with sane?
(And by "works" I mean actually works, not "it scans at 300dpi, so we're adding it to the 'supported' list".)
A few years ago, I borrowed this Teletype from the museum to do a photo shoot in my studio. The box in the base is a Bell 101, the very first commercially available modem.
Kobaïa and Salome were, of course, very excited. They love the old telco stuff.

Testing new lens. (Well, second copy of my favorite lens.) Micro-Nikkor 105mm AI. Gonna get it declicked. I have +/- 10% control over shutter speed, I want finer control over aperture.

MISINFORMATION FROM THE AMERICAN-ISRAELI WAR IN IRAN:
If you see a downed Shahed drone, do not touch it.
FALSE. The fear is that your scent will confuse the wounded drone's parents who will then refuse to care for it. This is not true. If you see a downed Shahed drone, wrap it in a dry blanket, and give it fresh water and your wifi password. It will recover in time, and be eternally grateful.
