I wish I had an answer.

The Thunderball quad is in a 4-inch wood frame with tru vue optium acrylic. I don’t like regular non-glare plexi. So I’ve started using optium acrylic. The camera is directly over the TBall frame, but notice there is no reflection. You can really see the difference in the Barbarella 40x60(optium acrylic) vs. FAFDM 4-sheet (regular plexi). Notice the reflection of the door frame in the FAFDM 4-sheet , but not in the Barbarella 40x60. The Barbarella piece is clear like the FAFDM piece but without a reflection. I will get a reflection if I put either the Thunderball quad or Barbarella 40x60 opposite a window or a lamp, so the optium acrylic doesn't solve all problems.

Looks great, Michael. How does the price compare to high quality UV plexi? Is it quite a bit more expensive? That non glare aspect really is the ticket, too!

Got one of my grails through today, I'll be getting this one linen backed at some point too 

[Harry Caul]

A classic!  Congrats!

[paul waines]

Well done, always nice to see people get one of their Grails..

I'm not sure I'd back it though, it looks jollygood from here.

[gargoyle67]

Thanks but the camera lies, It has a couple of holes in the center fold lines and some staple holes in all corners plus two left\right in the center boarders. Also has a slight tear\crease on the bottom fold line, Still pretty good for a 1975 poster but needs a bit of TLC 

[erik1925]

Congrats on snagging one of your grails, gargoyle.

It looks mighty fine, too! 

[gargoyle67]

Thanks buddy, Got 3 more coming soon.....ish

Well done.
I'm with Paul on the linen-backing.
Looks fine as is (even with staple holes, etc.)

Agree with Paul and Ted but if thats what you want to do. Go for it!

Gratz.

[gargoyle67]

Yeah I've decided not to linen back Jaws, I'm going to get some of those plastic sleeves at some point (Bloody expensive though )
Mean while on a floor not so long ago.....

I was photographing front and back and took 3 pics of each to make sure focus, exposure, etc was on in at least one. The longest delay is waiting for the flashes to recharge between shots and then changing the poster out on the vacuum board. Once I get my rhythm I'm guessing around 30-40 an hour?  The first couple are always very slow while I'm aligning the camera, metering for exposure, adjusting flashes and reflectors, etc...

I'll time it next time I'm up there.

Just took another batch of photos and timed myself.  It took me exactly 40 minutes to shoot 37 Japanese B2 posters. 

Keep in mind everything is streamlined and the posters have been prepped for shooting -- stacked for days/weeks to pre-flatten them and organized by size.  The setup took around 45 minutes for the flashes, centering the vacuum board, getting my reflectors positioned correctly, rigging up my camera tripod/boom, tweaking exposure, etc....  I'm supposed to be moving in to a more permanent space soon and will hopefully be able to put marks on the floors/walls to speed things up in the future.

Uh oh - will it resemble this?

While I'm not technically in the dog house, my wife is happy to see me move some of my shit out of the house   

A professional photog friend has a big studio and extra space in the back where I can photograph my collection.

Sounds like a win-win to me
