SUPERB wow that's what I call a lovely image

The definition is not like in digital , soft and pleasant to watch. It's perfect ! :)

Look at the line of the face, head and hands . You said "soft" ?

Black and grey tones are very nice

Thank you and if you have more like this , please don't hesitate to post

... and you are Welcome Greg

So far, the R lust has abated...   ;)

Mine's slowly subsiding too. A local R4 didn't work as advertised, went back.

Ditto with an overseas R6 which arrived yesterday, it's about to be returned.

Could just be the one R6 and a couple of lenses. Plus the SWC of course.

And to be fair, that's enough to keep me busy anyway, adding the X-Vario for some postcard shots.

This picture and the previous images show us wonderful color ...

a fingerprint of the camera or the combo film-camera ? :)

this "blue-ish"aspect is superb

Thank you Coog.

Henry

Thanks Henry. They're all with CPL too, so that may have helped with the colour.

Nice shot Brendan, my kind of picture, a subject framed within the frame gives us an untold story and a lovely aesthetic. Great stuff.

Thanks, Gentlemen.

Henry - I don't recall the shutter speed but I believe the aperture was wide open at f5.6.  This is bc I needed two stop of exposure compensation in respect of the teleconverter and the light was very low.  

Still cool.

 

 

Adam in certain manner it looks fine for me :)

At what exposure and aperture are you for this picture Adam without your lightmeter ?

Color is still superb

1980s postcard-style from NSW, just needs the curly text top-left, "Tea Gardens, NSW"

I find colour 120 film so frustrating to scan. This was the same roll, position, time and equipment as the little yacht above but totally lacks the 'special sauce' colours of the former.

Three blended images. The main image shot on a Leica SL, 50mm Summicron and Tri-X, featuring the 1999 Trafalgar Square, London, Kosovo Anti-war demonstration. With Robert, a highly decorated Swedish soldier who fought in that war.

For consistent results with color negative film, I would recommend to use silverfast software. As easy as scanning reversal film. The trick is to turn off all the features. I only use the "negafix" negative scanning application and iSRD the infrared dust removal function. Everything else is off. Also you should uncheck the "CCR" color cast removal button which works like AWB. Edited by edwardkaraa

coogee, what  scanner and more importantly, what software are you using. Also, the way you set it up is vital. Scanning 120 in good daylight should be /is a breeze.

 

regardless of your scanner, I recommend VueScan, as it works will ALL scanner and is a simple interface to drive. I know edwardkaraa above recommended Silverfast, which I also have, but don't like it. The reality is, you should be able to use the software you have. Learning to drive it optimally is paramount. If you tell us what you are using, someone here will also be using it and guide you.

Thank you both. I have a Plustek 120 with VueScan for medium format stuff.

It did come with the bundled Silverfast software but it was licenced to someone else at original purchase (I bought s/h) and repeated emails to Silverfast people hit a dead end, so I can't update it from the very outdated version that doesn't even allow me to capture the whole negative (so Vuescan it is.)

 

I did manage to find a guide to locking in film profiles (sampling the negative base) with Vuescan, but have since misplaced it. I confess to being fairly random in my approach to scanning, it's not a process I enjoy or understand particularly (16-bit, 32-bit, what?) , but no doubt it causes me more trouble in the long run wasting time trying to white balance by eye in Lightroom alongside white/black/exposure adjustments.

 

A slightly better example, though still on the yellow side, with Rolleiflex/Portra 400

 

An MG, a very long way from home.

The picture is fine for me  Coog ,  may be the color is less clear. I don't know if the color of this car

is like in original ?

 

I have a practice not to use another software for scanning than the software delivered

in factory with the scanner. With Epson V700, I used Epson Software and I don't use Silverfast furnished

by Epson.

Same thing with my 2 Nikon Coolscan . I keep an old computer with Windows for this work.

 

Software of the scanner from factory is calibrated exclusively for the scanner.

I notice when I used Silverfast with the Epson , the color is modified and you know I hate modified color and

correction with software after .I don't like this scanner step because it's digital !

Coog try the Software of the Plustek

Regards

Henry

Thanks Henry. The colour /feels right/ for me, the sun shining softly through the trees, but it's probably not 100% accurate.

 

I'm with you on preferring to minimise any trickery with scanning. I'll reinvestigate the process with Vuescan for sampling the film base, so what I get is as close to what the film saw as possible. We all see colour a little differently anyway. Portra certainly does :)
