pass around scanner test : 1 neg, many scanners

[sf]

and finally, two modified 120 frames cropped

the first is a sharpened B&W (50% at 1 pixel tolerance)

second is E-6 lightened to bring up the shadow detail

these are from the original scans - not new scans

Here we go!
Dimage Scan Dual IV, 3200 dpi originals, no mods at all, downsized to post.
Neopan, negative film, slide film

 

[aad]

100% crops, sized to fit, same order. BTW, 35mm, of course.

All were done from the middle exposure submitted, though I did scan all of them. A lot of work!

I'll maybe do the 4490 if it doesn't show up later. If so, I'll do MF.

all my 35mm were 4800dpi and all my 120 were 3200dpi.

By popular demand, the crops again, less compression. Can you tell the difference?

no

I receive the negs on Saturday. I'll try to get to them this week.

No negs for me, yet :-(

I think what I will do is take images off this thread and post them on my website for more direct, side by side comparisons.

And I was meticulous about shipping, triple and quadruple checked everyone's addresses, so you will all receive the negs unless the postal service does something unpleasant to them.

Hi aad, will you be doing the 4490 scan soon?

Go to

http://www.fgianni.fastmail.fm/ScannerTest/

Epson 3200 at 3200 DPI for the 645 films, and Plustek opticfilm 7200 at 7200 DPI for the 35mm no adjustments, straight out of the scanner, reduced size scan, and two 100% crops (text and shade are).

Any questions, ask away!

Cheers.

 

[fgianni]

The funny thing is that the 100% crops of the 35mm are bigger than the ones for the 645

Hallo,

George, you said you had a few spares - I can't make out whether the two people who said they had Nikon V ED LS-50s are taking part or not - if they arn't, do you have any strips left?

 

[sf]

I don't. BUT, all of the 8 people I mailed negs to will have theirs to spare. Anyone want to mail a set to kully, here?

Mr. Gianni lives on your island.

 

[fgianni]

PM sent to Kully

I think someone else is supposed to do a 4490 scan. I'll wait on that for a bit, if I'm mistaken I'll pop 'em in.

Same as above 100% crops.

Well, even just this far this has proved to me that E-6 kicks C-41s bollocks.

Oh, yeah! Color is much easier to get right.
