V750 vs DSLR scanning

[Ronald M]

Digital will yield better prints than Flat bed scanner. Better than my KM5400 which was among the best in the day.

Today My D800 nikon on a tripod in good light yields better prints than I could ever get with 4x5 color neg at 11x17 size. Up close sniffing yields perfect sharpness and tone reproduction and NO grain/noise.

I will never go back to color film, but my film darkroom is open, Delta 100 and Bergger 400.

I am planning to use my 16mp Pentax K-5iis together with the SMC Pentax A50mm f2.8 macro for scanning medium format film. I believe that I have to use stitching in order to get better results than I already am getting from the V750.

Try it first w/o stitching. You may be very happy with your results.

I've used the stitching software in LR before to create panos from digital images and it worked well for me.

Thank you Huss!

A few days ago I ordered a Plustek 6x7 holder, which is the last hardware I need for my DSLR scanning rig. I will surely start up with scanning w/o stitching, to see what kind of results my gear is capable of.
