Doc Henry Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share #16601 Posted June 5, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I try to carry my Leica M6 TTL with me wherever I go. I don't always use it but it's there in case I see something cool to shoot. I was waiting for the bus after work one spring afternoon, and while waiting, I walked across the street to get this shot using my 28mm Elmarit on Tri-X, processed in Adol, then scanned on an Epson Flatbed. Good photos and don't forget to post your pictures here. Epson scanner is still a good scanner Thanks Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share #16602 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) I will try that Henry, good idea. I love both mediums though, and while I do appreciate your side, I enjoy and love the digital medium too. Both have their place in my hobby. Gary We agree Gary . but the view of the "plastic" * and "flat" side (* as said Eoin here I think) for some digit photos do not encourage me to continue and the pixels race and equipment where you find "all" is electronic is absurd (video, electronic RF,liveview etc...) . A digit camera depreciate faster than analog Look at the price second hand of the M8 in comparison with a M6 or M7.

EoinC Posted June 5, 2016 Share #16604 Posted June 5, 2016 What a difference a scan makes... I had a play today with digitising using a MP-E 65 mounted on an A7R, with a Cognysis Stackshot focus rail. I haven't set the light table perpendicularity yet, but tried merging 2 sets of scans at different exposures. Although the (TriX) negative itself is pretty poor on focus, and I haven't attempted to equalise the overall brightness and contrast, there was significant difference between the earlier Fuji scan and the manual digitised versions: Fuji scan... 000001 by Eoin Christie, on Flickr ...and digitised with MP-E 65...

Doc Henry Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share #16605 Posted June 5, 2016 Yes Eoin about the black tone , balance between b&w and definition , it's obvious. Finally the general rendering is not the same. I prefer the scan by scanner . I believe it'll be still better in print ! Thanks for this test and for posting. Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted June 5, 2016 Share #16613 Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks, Adm and Henry. The Fuji scan was commercial. What i noticed is that the folds in the robe have no detail in the Fuji scan, so nothing recoverable, whilst the negative actually contained quite a lot of detail. The digitised version hasn't been pulled back, but could easily reach the deep blacks in LR. I wasn't very systematic with the digitising, so I'll have another try with another 120 negative, and then try a 135. I need to do more on setting the table parallel to the film plane. The MP-E 65 is a fantastic lens (up to 5X maginfication), although not very forgiving on mistakes with a miniscule depth of field. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted June 5, 2016 Share #16619 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) What is MP-E Eoin , a macro lens ? As Gary pointed out, it's a 1X - 5X EF-mount Macro lens. At 5X magnification @ f/2.8, the DOF is 0.048mm, making it quite sensitive. That's why I'm using it on a focus rail.
