I'm not certain about it but when I tried Silverfast on the Nikon
LS 8000 I got an IT8 transparency lend to me as well. I doubt it
originally belonged to that copy of Silverfast. However the data
of the file I could download from Silverfast's site. And on the
slide frame Silverfast was mentioned. What surprised me however
was that in the data 'Wolf Faust' was mentioned. While I know
that he sells IT8 reflection targets for a nice price I didn't
know that he already produced transparency targets. On his site
there's an announcement for a year at least that he intends to
that in the near future. Could be of course that Wolf made
transparency targets for Silverfast in a former life. Wolf seems
to be still on holidays as he didn't reply on a request I send
him some weeks ago. At least you could try it.
And any other IT8 transparency (Kodak, Agfa, Fuji) will do the
work of course. Some time ago I did read that a Fuji target
should be more universal than the Kodak or Agfa targets. Don't
know where I read that and whether it is true. Maybe someone else
did read that too and can say it is BS.
