with good resolution.


iver recently gotten into film photography as an alternative to buying a soon to be outdated d700



lmk

Any film scanner you buy today, aside from very expensive drum scanners, will give less than favorable scans.

Unless you don't mind slightly blurry photographs, I would rather use that d700.

I will post an equivalent 60 MP scan from some 6x7 film and you can see the blur I am talking about. Since most scanners, aside from drums, use a film holder that is slightly higher than where the sensor in the scanner is focused, you get a slight blur on any scan.

I have heard that there are some newer scanners that you can refocus the sensor, but I've never actually seen one.

There it is. You have to download it because its 7000x8000px.

gnarly.... the majority of what i want to print wont be over 20"(W) x whatever"(L)


but that is prety blurry and noisy.

can someone show me an example of a photograph taken during daytime scanned by a film scanner?

without filters or greyscale... i dont care about watermarks...

That was a daytime film photograph. It's just black and white film. I have some other film scans of 35mm that are color though. I'll put one up.

This one is significantly smaller, approximated 12 MP. 35mm film will do that.

Also, film in general is going to be noisy. None of that noise was introduced from the scanning. Obviously, developing techniques and quality of film and chemicals can improve that though.

I believe that was a roll of 120 TMAX 400.

Where's Anti at when you need him?

i know film gets more grainy as the speed increases.
i try to stick with at least 200..

i like to keep my iso low. this will be easier now with my50mm 1.4 @2-2.8.



edit:

Yikes now i see it out of focus... how unfortunate. i was hoping to scan my 35mm and edit with a raw filter.
now i believe i may need to spring for the d700

all the photos i scan seem sharp and fine.
