Still - whats your point ?

You can digitalize negative/positive film with any digital camera.

Sure the new Nikon has 45 megapixel and a big dynamic rage

but I bet a lot of normal film scanner still kick ass if you handle them right !

I can only assume you are not reading the link correctly. I'm aware that you can wet print film, I'm aware you can buy a film scanner to scan film, I'm aware that many people use cameras to photograph negatives and convert in software, what I haven't seen previously is a digital camera being produced with in-camera software to convert negative c41 image to a positive image. From your reaction I can assume either this feature has appeared in previous digital cameras and is well known, or you're being deliberately inflammatory. I have been unaware of such a feature. I'm sorry my being late to the game, if that is the case, irks you so much that you feel the need to comment Edited by Stealth3kpl

This was complete news to me, too, and I'm grateful that you posted the link, Pete. I have never seen that function before. In light of Nikon's history with the Coolscans perhaps it is logical that they include this feature. It is certainly welcome.

 

From reading the tech specs of the ES-2 adapter it seems the camera, when in digitizing mode, will only permit saving the images as JPEG. Since it will be full-frame images perhaps that's not a big problem as they will be fairly large image files and as JPEGs open in, for instance, Adobe Camera Raw. But RAW would probably have been more welcome from a post-processing perspective. Still it's terrific that they provide this more or less out of the box solution.

No need to be insulted. I am just used people not only post news without their own opinions. That´s what I was hoping for.  ;)

As I have pointed out, the camera has been announced in the last few hours. I cannot comment on its effectiveness as I haven't used it; there will be plenty of others who will manage to do that without using it.

That Nikon have chosen to introduce this feature is worthy of a post

Pete , first thank you for the link in "I like film thread" because it's useful to know news around

"how you can scan your negatives" and probably interested many contributors in this thread.

 

That said Nikon begin to understand they would never stopped production of their scanners.

When you see , one Nikon Coolscan 9000 or 5000 reachs between 3000 and 5000 Euros

it's really crazy and in addition , you have no spare parts. A scandal !

Not a good point for Nikon in my opinion ... now they notice that film comes back so they produce

this camera ....

I agree as well. To be honest it's very interesting alternative to the "regular" scanners.

 

At the moment I am using the D750 for digitalization of my negatives (with different lens set-up) and post-process them in LR. I am still not really happy with the results. Trying the Epson V600 in combination with VueScan was even more disappointing.

 

I always wonder about the stunning scan results here in the thread..

 

Best regards

Jakob , if you also photograph in MF , I counsel you Epson V700 or 750 second hand cheaper now 

or if you can the new one V 850 , specially if you work in b&w .

Pete can confirm me because we have both compare many scanners brands

in 135 or MF in one thread , now deleted  by Andreas ,  when he changed the forum LUF to a new version LF.

I have some pictures I scanned with my V700, it's really great , I'll post for you if you want !

The problem whe you scan with a digital camera and post process , you use two more digitalizing steps :

camera and photo software

Henry, I would really appreciate that! I am running several formats from 35mm to 6x17 and if the results are good I'll give it a shot.

 

Although the scanning results are disappointing by now I am still shooting (a lot of) film hoping some days to solve the issue..

You are welcome Jakob :)

 

Here some pictures I scanned in 3200 dpi in Tiff  Epson V700 with Epson software

RGB calibrated for color and grey level calibrated b&w in factory.

I use to increase the general rendering ANR Glass. Negative is well "flat"

I found an unprocessed roll of Provia100F in the closet and had no idea when or where it was from. I developed it and was pleasantly surprised to see images on the slides, and determined it was from the summer of 2003.

Here is ANR glass mounted on strip 24x36. You have also MF glass

ANR glass is not for "marketting" but is really useful and  increase the

rendering of image. Negative sticks on the glass and so is "flat" against

the glass , the definition is better .

didn't have a long enough lens to capture the eclipse here in NY, although I didn't one that wasn't bad from a distance .... in the vein of making lemonade when you have lemons, here are some NYers viewing the eclipse. All shot with my M4, 50mm summilux Ektar 100 film ....
