Advertisement Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Hi Doc Henry, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Doc Henry Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share #39242 Posted August 29, 2017 My new Pacific Imaging scanner is starting to show a purple right border, plus many other annoying problems, so I just purchased a Nikon Coolscan V from an online seller. I hope it works properly so that I get rid of this cheap junk. From Lebanon: M7-Biogon 2.8/25 ZM-Ektar 100 by edward karaa, on Flickr Edward , the purple doesn't come from your film ? have you this purple band at the same place every time and on every picture ? Look at your negative with a magnifier Nice landscape Best Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at your negative with a magnifier Nice landscape Best Henry Thank you Henry! Yes it's showing in every shot, always on the right border. It just started to show about a week ago and doesn't go away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardkaraa Posted August 29, 2017 Share #39245 Posted August 29, 2017 Have you a office strong light near your scan ? I mean office lamp ? Also no. The room where I scan is actually very dimly lighted. I'm quite sure it's some problem with the scanner hardware, maybe the LED light. Anyhow the Nikon is on the way and I'm quite excited about it. I used to have the coolscan 5000 about 10 years ago and it was outstanding. I hope the V will be nearly as good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STK Posted August 29, 2017 Share #39246 Posted August 29, 2017 The 5th row is staring, too Another shot from a stroll through Berlin. One of the many bridges over the river Spree. As you might know, Berlin has more bridges than Venice. But to stay clear, Berlin has a lot less bridges than Hamburg... Bild-1-47.jpg Minilux - Agfa CT 100 Precisa Nice picture!

I used to have the coolscan 5000 about 10 years ago and it was outstanding. I hope the V will be nearly as good. In waiting for your Nik scan, can you send a message to Pacific CS ? The coolscan V is as good as the 5000. I have both and I use mainly Nikon software Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already installed on my PC waiting for the scanner to arrive I will contact the customer service of Pacific Imaging sometime soon but I will have almost certainly to send it back to the US. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted August 29, 2017 Share #39249 Posted August 29, 2017 Wow Otto what nice definition and black-grey tone of this tree Wonderful black You know you are always welcome in this thread Thank you for sharing with us Best Henry Yes I know I'm welcome Henry haha, thanks and I do sort of support your cause with some nuances as you may remember: I see a great surplus-value of film or its right of existence in the esthetic sense, and we should all support its enduring existence but this counts for me especially for the larger formats than 35mm. What's more I can still cry a river or get desperate by the thought that this whole AGFA tradition has vanished in just a few years when nobody seemed to notice : Record Rapid, Portriga Rapid, AGFA Classic (multigrade). Some films and developers are saved by others, like Rodinal en APX-film, but their most difficult and special products, their papers are gone. It's an artistic shame for humanity. What you're saying about the tones in this photo struck me too: wonderfull midtones without the whole image getting dull (and with a HC110-B made from a stock-solution with a shelf-life of 5 years!). There is a guy here (in the German forum mainly, lambda or so), who makes very good work with a very individual style and signature which he summarizes with the slogan: 'fuck the midtones'. When the above photo came out of development another slogan popped up in my head: 'in praise of the midtones' ! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the above photo came out of development another sloga n popped up in my head: 'in praise of the midtones' ! Otto thanks for your comment. Midtone ? it's a confusion Otto, I want to speak about shade of grey and shade of black, important in one picture , not midtone , lack in digital That's my conclusion after 8 years of M digital . Finally the nuance is very important in b&w and also in color IMO. It's not only grey and black , as you see in digit picture , but the shade in grey and black exists, If you still have digital cam., take the same picture and compare them. I already do it and I continue to do it , because I still have my digit cameras and I want to show you proofs. Your picture posted has a certain relief because you have this "nuance" > Image is not "flat". Along these 1960 pages , many contributors of this thread here show us this big difference with their pictures and the difference comes sometimes from film brand Best Henry Edited August 29, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along these 1960 pages , many contributors of this thread here show us this big difference with their pictures and the difference comes sometimes from film brand Best Henry Yes you're right in the sense of better words used for the issue at hand. Don't prove me, I can prove you : I compared for instance this analogue combination with the Monochrome1 shooting the same scene. Digital prophets will say: that's because digital hasn't enough digits yet, with the Nikon 48Mp you'll see the progress. I doubt that. What I see here in this image of a tree, is the natural character of the tree whereas the digital image gives me a perfect representation or translation of a tree into another system/language. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carcassonne is wonderful – a very large medieval city/fortress that was a centre for the Cathars in south-ish France, not far from Toulouse. XP2, 35mm Summaron 3.5, if anyone is interested Yes I'm very interested: I made such a type of claire-obscure photo in the cathedral/mosque Mezquita in Còrdoba, with the Summaron 3.5. On Kodak TMZ3200, but the same idea of blacks to highlights. Unbelievable how far I could go in the darkroom with dodging the shadows without loosing contrast and definition. Worth a try with this one! Edited August 29, 2017 by otto.f 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
