Post your drum scans (aka the first official Drum Scanners thread)

Here are some examples with SM5000. I'm away in China now, so my drum scanners are taking a vacation in Florida haha!!



Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar | 80MM
Kodak New Portra 400



Fujifilm GX680ii | EBC 180MM f3.2
Kodak Tmax 100



Hasselblad 2000 FC/M | Carl Zeiss 110MM F2, F
Fuji Provia 100F (2013)​

Ok, here's another scan and comparison of the ScanMate 5000 vs. Epson v800.

This scene had a pretty low dynamic range.

ScanMate 5000 (straight off scanner)


Epson v800 (post-processed)


Order: ScanMate 5000 (straight off scanner), Epson v800 (straight off scanner), Epson v800 (post processed).
Film: Fuji Velvia 100

Dear lord, incredible...
 
Pali, that scan of the trees in black and white really, really "pop" - such nice tonality!

Sheel, nice to see that you got your scanner up and running. Some incredible resolution in those slides!

Would be cool to see a comparison of the processed drum scan vs the processed v800 scan 🙂

I have to say the Epson didn't do too badly with this scan in comparison (for sharpness once post processed). I have the V750 but I would love a drum scanner. I was offered a Color Getter for a reasonable price yeas ago (actually two, one for spare parts). I can't remember why I passed it up... I must have been trippin'. 😛

If you look closely you'll notice a lot more fine detail and better tonal transitions in the drum scan - look at the rocks fx.
The v800 also suffers a bit from sharpening artifacts. The Epson did better than expected though 🙂

Trippin indeed! The Color Getters are excellent scanners! 😉

Thanks guys!

Yes, in this scene, the Epson did quite well and I'm happy with it's performance, esp. given its class and convenience. Perfectly acceptable results, without all the mounting and stability headaches 🙂

That being said, for utmost quality the SM5k really does bring out the tones, finer details (particularly the reflections), and of course resolution. It's making me giddy. 😛
* Tonality - check out the rock
* Highlights - check out the lilies
* Resolution - everywhere
* Details - check the reflections

Thank you Kamph! The BW scan is from a 8x10 HP5 negative with Symmar-S 360MM and has absolutely insane amount of detail. If I ever feel like taking on the challenge, I will try to scan it around 3000 DPI and see how many bugs I can see in the picture 🙂

Working with an Epson V750, doing wet mounts scans does improves its scanning performance. True the Drum scanner does kick-ass from the get-go but I guess it's a matter of where someone wants to spend more time: post processing or prepping the film to scan. 😀
