You're mentioning your results via scanning. What are your results via your wet printing?

Error number one.Turtle said:I personally feel that until you actually look at a proper print rather than 72 dpi of regurgitated smear on a computer screen, comment is fairly pointless.
Major error number two.I think a lot of people are getting caught up on 'characteristics' they like and dont like without realising that the neg is a base line which can be worked on with different devs and then you have the ability to interpret it at the printing stage. People are talking about the output from these lenses as something fixed, something you are stuck with (true)....and that the story ends there, but failing to see how truly insignificant some of these nit pickings are if you spend some time trying to learn how to be a good printer; not so that you ccan fix the results but produce almost whatever feeling you want from most negs.
Error number three.If the shots are boring and lack something I would suggest that this is a critisim of the photographer.

Ya... Myths all over the place. Screen resolution not doing justice to pics. They do. Lens character shows thru, regardless. Negs as base lines u can do whatever u want with even if theyre ****, check Larry Bartletts bw photo printing workshop to see how an enlarger can do nothing to salvage a crap lense performance, and then try seperating what a photog sees from issues of the feel of a print.back alley said:would you care to expand on this?

Flying Carpet said:Soory. Got your question wrong.
back alley said:then, my apologies for the heavy handed reply on my part.
i was curious for an answer because those points have been made here regularly and had not been challenged (iirc) and i wondered about what you might say or know that would change that for me.
