Famous Photographer
I am as angry has I can remember.
I just went to examine 10+ rolls of film that I had recently run through my Nikon 5000 scanner with a roll film adapter.
Each roll (plus four others I did later did for a friend) are increasingly miss-framed as the scanner got toward the end of end of 36 frames.
Forget the fact that I failed to examine the first complete roll to to catch this ~14 rolls ago. This had not happened to me before. I have always completely scanned every roll I take. Up til now, I have accepted the hassle of scanning as a fact of my photographic life.
But to go back and scan each of these rolls six frames at a time (I cut the film when the scanning is done) will take a ridiculously long time.
On top of that, I don't know happened to my scanner. Hardware? Did the horribly designed Silverfast software suddenly forget how to advance frames properly? And don't even mention Vuescan -- it is SO much worse from a user-interface point of view that it borders on pathetic.
I want to make pictures, not f**k with things like this.
So, film is history for me. Anyone want to make me an offer on a Leica IIIf + lenses, a Nikon S3 2000 + lenses, two 0.58 Leica M7s, and a possibly busted Nikon 5000 scanner, feel free.
I don't need this s**t any more.
