New Luminous Landscape 8x10 comparison

Why is it this guy gets different results to other people, and why is it the film looks almost pixely in some pictures?

If a 3MP camera can beat film how come I get this result when I compare my 6MP SLR to Ektar?

I thought you were joking until I found it. 🙄

Hang on don't the people at the Gigapxl project use 9x18" film? So that's 162"2 film to get 4GP images, 8x10" has just slightly under half the image area 80"2 someone should tell the people at Gigapxl about this.

Seriously. I've learned never to judge by negatives by how they scan and present on a monitor. Most of my 35mm HP5 scans look like sh*t on a monitor compared to digital capture (pcretty sure its a function of how monitors represent grain) but once printed up they look beautiful.

Most of us work on a monitor of 20" or more (24" wide in my case), and the viewing distance is relatively near.

So if I made a 24x print from a 35mm and had my nose within few inches, I wouldn't really be looking at the photo, I'd be evaluating some technical subset of imaging technology. I've seen people do this with Ansel Adams large prints in an exhibit. It didn't seem like they enjoyed the photos very much.

True - but Adams was severely disadvantaged in the quality stakes by not having access to the Canon G10's alien technology ... 😱
