Photos from R3A/Nokton

[sf]

These pics are from the first few rolls I put through this camera. I did this in a weekend, and am posting them now. I will be posting some wide open shots soon - these are mostly in the f2.8-f16 range. Most are around f5.6. Some are shot with Ilford PanF, some are Tri-X, and some are Neopan 1600. All were scanned with an Epson 3170 at 3200 DPI. None were edited for contrast, etc. I will post the rest of these images in a moment (5 image limit). This is the Nokton 40, not the 50.

Nice feel in the glass of water shot.

Thanks for sharing. These are scans from negs, aren't they?

yeah, definitely scans. With an Epson 3170 flatbed scanner. Pretty decent scanner. I certainly prefer the scans from traditional film scanners like the Coolscan, etc. But this thing can do 120 and does a great job for 190 bucks US. Tell you what though. . . I want to buy the Epson 4990 because it can do 4x5. Wow, imagine a really nice scan (4200 DPI optical and actual) from a 4x5 slide. Hundreds of megapixels of awesome color and all that!

The 4990 has 4800 x 9600 DPI capability

so yeah, a scan it is.

Nice detail and I like the glass of water shot too. That lens looks pretty good! 🙂
