chrism Posted November 29, 2015 Share #8145 Posted November 29, 2015 very nice, Chris. How do you like the X1? I have often wondered how the output compares to the Nikon Coolscan 9000. Did you get a good deal on it second hand, and if so, how has your experience been? Originally I bought a second hand 848 and got along very happily with it, but then it broke down and it went back to NJ twice before it was fixed (and it one hell of a hassle to ship from Canada to NJ and back!) In the middle of all that I was diagnosed with leukemia, and rather irrationally I treated myself to a new X1, thinking I could recover half the cost by selling the 848 when it was finally repaired. It now lives in Michigan. The main reason to prefer a Flextight over the 9000 is speed, and it is very easy to use and requires little fussing. The scans are better, but the difference is very small. The 3F scans are very large and allow one scan of a negative to be reprocessed in lots of different ways, but they are large enough that they bring storage problems and, of course, negate the speed advantage over the 9000. The FlexColor software is very good at getting colours right - to get the same with the 9000 I have to make a profile for the film by scanning the base, lock the exposure, scan as raw in Vuescan, and use ColorPerfect in PS to invert the scan into a positive with accurate colours. The results are very good indeed, but it's so much simpler with the Flextight! The only other thing that differentiates them is that the Nikon may not be repairable. I'm happy to keep it around - it saved me again this fall when I waited three months for B&H to get me a replacement bulb for the X1. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted November 29, 2015 Share #8146 Posted November 29, 2015 very nice contrast. Thanks for sharing and hope you share more. Was a lens filter used? Thank you. No filter was used ... I don't think I even have one to fit the 60 macro yet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly deserve it, so use it in good and improved health and have fun with all of your photography. I can't seem to find the "transparency" option on my Vuescan, which is the latest version (using it on a Mac). So I can't figure out how to scan an inverted file and use color perfect. Perhaps one day it will come to me. Until then, it is a fairly long slog to the completion of each "keeper" image. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kleinkamera Posted November 29, 2015 Share #8149 Posted November 29, 2015 A beautiful sunrise picture, Adam! I found shooting around the big Reservoir difficult, not having enough format width to take it in like this. The wide aspect ratio is clearly the right way for this place! Great job.

James Thanks a lot, James. You are so right about the format width. This was taken in 6x9 format and I think it worked well. I will make a test print and find out for sure. I'm thinking that the resolution should be enough to easily support a print that is at least 60" wide. We shall see....Thanks again Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted November 30, 2015 Share #8152 Posted November 30, 2015 . A couple of architectural details in soft (cloudy) early morning light at the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park. 1950 Elmar 50mm, Tri-X James Very lovely details and rendering of the tri-x. That area is a wonderful place to shoot, with so many possibilities. I spent a lot of time with the large fountain on a really nice autumn day about a month ago and thought that I had nailed some "money shots" (they were very long exposures with an orange filter to accent the fast moving clouds against the dark blue sky in the background) only to find out later after exposing the entire roll that I had ektar in the film back instead of tmax! Man was I pissed! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted November 30, 2015 Share #8154 Posted November 30, 2015 Ric, loving your B&W posts (OK, along with all the others). One thing that sticks out, "M6 & 50mm & XP2". No other lenses? Use any other film? Just asking, as I am thinking I should just concentrate on the one body/lens/film combo. I sort of did this by necessity a couple of years ago on a Europe trip when I bought an X1 (digital, fixed lens camera) and actually enjoyed it, no mucking with which lens to fit, etc. Anyway, loving them.

Gary Gary , the advantage of M (versus Q or X) are the interchangeable lens. Concerning me, as there is less risk of dust on analog M as digital M on the sensor (my case with 2 digital M), I change the optical according to my shots, for landscapes I take the 28 mm or the 35, the 50 mm for portraits (or landsapes) better the 90 (I do not have 75)....but you can also make beautiful pictures with a single lens (case of Ric) Best Henry Edited November 30, 2015 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
