T-Max 400. I'm still not liking what I'm doing with digitising this film. In LR I have to crank the contrast up to "11"* to get anything that doesn't look like a hospital wall.

Same Hexar JM?

Gary

Yes Gary, the Hexar AF was my main stills camera with the Horizon  for about 20+  years, just sold it though, too many cameras in the house right now !

 

You can spot me in that one ...

As I said in Wayne thread :

http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/261478-plustek-has-died/

Epson scanner is a good compromise for b&w scan if you shoot in 135

and also in MF ... cheaper than Imacon :)

 

Here an example

Notice the cobwebs

And something I am having to consider Henry, as the M/F shots I have, and will have in the future are giving me all manner of grief with the BEOON plus X-E1.

Tonight, and old trannie from a GSW690, Agfa 200. This time I did an Eoin, and shot 8 separate shots, and stitched them together, but man what an exercise in frustration.

The apo Rodagon I usually use gave ghosting between the highlights and the shadows, possibly a touch of haze on the elements inside. I grabbed the 50 Summicron M, and much better.

Gary for the haze I see here (may be) it's difficult to judge in a picture above , but it's certain you can have a haze with Beoon because of interference with external light (and also UV you cann't see but exists and captures by sensor of your digit cam) which may slightly denatured : logic IMO. So quality of scan can decrease.

Better you work in a dark place or inside a box !

I see now the haze (2-3 cms) around the tower isn't Gary ?

I like it very much Gary, very striking composition and cool colour. 

 

From what I understand from having followed the APUG's MF forum and the large format forum too for a while many MF and larger photographers are really quite happy with the V7xx Epsons. Something to consider. Unless you want to buy the new Hasselblad mirrorless MF camera for about 8000 Eur  (body) which incorporates the 50Mpix sensor from the H series backs and takes all H series lenses with an adapter :) Then again for that money I am wondering if one couldn't get a used H2 or 3 with 32Mpix back and a macro. Hmm I'm starting to get ideas here, dangerous.

Philip you mean this :  http://www.hasselblad.com/h5-system/h5d-50c

I read somewhere it's a Sony CMOS sensor ?

also somewhere I saw  this : http://photorumors.com/2016/06/16/rumors-new-m-mount-camera-with-ccd-sensor-to-be-announced-soon/

but you know I am now faithful to film :) , the proof that CCD sensor comes back

Color is better IMO versus CMOS

and always for Philip and Gary for another new idea and not for the banker  :D

http://leicarumors.com/2015/12/09/the-konost-full-frame-digital-rangefinder-camera-project-is-still-alive.aspx/

and to proove that current sensor is not satisfying , we'll have curve sensor :
