cbretteville Posted April 2, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted April 2, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Scanner: KM5400II Slides: The odd roll of Astia and Provia Colour neg: Nope B&W: APX100, HP5+, FP4+, Acros, NP400 and NP1600, XP2 Super - some times. And lately, some 80's vintage TechPan - I found almost afull 150ft roll an old bulk loader. Â Pulling B&W and scanning: I've tried it with HP5 at EI200 in several develpers, not too successfull I might add. Comes out much better at EI400.

NZDavid Posted April 3, 2007 Share #23 Â Posted April 3, 2007 Fuji's Astia 100F -- highlights and shadow details scan very well, ultra fine grain. You can pump up colours post processing if you wish, but then I prefer natural to oversaturated colours. A superb film. Do compare, if you haven't tried it already. I've tried Kodak's E100G and GX, which are also excellent. Â Fuji 400 NH or 400 Superia X (amateur version). Great in mixed light. Lovely colours. Grain is present but quite tolerable, even at 8 x 10. Â I don't have a scanner, and really don't understand how anybody has time to do their own scanning! I have mine done professionally, usually at 24MB per image, which is fine for most publications. If I want a larger size, I can specify that. All images arrive neatly on a CD with thumbnails. The savings in time and quality assurance are worth paying for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The savings in time and quality assurance are worth paying for. Â I must re-approach my local lab and try to get some done by them properly. I had some scanning done by them once and they were terrible, tiny resolution, jpeg not tiffs. They even actually loaded the transperency emulsion wrong side up - if you get my meaning, so sometimes doing your own means you have control. I often load a few at a time while doing other things.
