...Epson scan V700>V850 is a good compromise between Nikon Coolscan,Minolta Dimage less expensive

and Imacon more expensive , for a nice image . Sincerily I don't like Beoon because it is too near digital camera

it's better you photograph directly with digital camera in this case...

 

Have you actually, yourself, tried digitizing with a BEOON or another copy stand using a good lens and a good digital camera, or are you just saying what you assume it is like?

 

A few weeks ago, I digitalized some 400 old Kodachrome and Ektachrome slides using the BEOON + Focotar-2 50mm  + M10. Transparencies are more challenging to scan or digitalize because they are denser than negative film. While I don't have a direct comparison, I feel that my digitalizations with the M10 were at least as good as earlier scans I had done with the Imacon Precision III scanner (6300 dpi and dMax of 4.2) — and, surprisingly, the digitalizations required less color correction than my Imacon scans and, of course, were much faster to do. While the Imacon scans have somewhat more resolution when scanning at 6300 dpi, the resolution difference is not compelling compared to that of the M10.

 

My transparency digitalizations had the look of the original film and did not look like having been copied with a digital camera. Your statement that it's better to scan than to digitalize is not helpful because, today, there are only high-quality (Hasselblad) scanners and low-quality (Plustek, etc.) being manufactured, with no mid-quality (Nikon) ones being made. Unless you have clear evidence that camera scanning really looks like a digital image you're doing a disservice to people looking for a way of digitalizing film.

From my project on the "The end of the Woollen Trade", Bradford, West Yorkshire UK.

 

Leica 111F with 50mm Elmar Fomapan 200 in D76 stock.

Not sure if I've exceeded my quota of 'Thanks' and it isn't showing, but these images of Bradford are compelling.

 

I might have a wander around there myself at some point.

Just for a bit of fun and because I've been comparing them, here are two images of the same subject taken on 35mm and 6x6 from my "end of woollen trade" project.

 

The first is Leica 111F Elmar 50mm and Foma 200 and the second is a Rolleiflex 2.8F (Zeiss 80mm Planar)  on Foma 100  both in D76 stock.

 

Both German classic cameras from the 1950's and equally superb in their own right, I thought it might be interesting to post and see what you all think of the two formats and cameras. 

 

Not really a fair comparison I know but a bit of interest!

 

Paul,

An interesting comparison. The subject certainly lends itself to the square format. It's difficult to compare the images otherwise because both the film speed and the negative size are different. I keep switching back and forth between 35mm and 6x6, and your comparison hasn't made that decision any easier  :)

Dear Paul,

 

Firstly let me congratulate you on the series that you show (I particularly like this picture, probably due to the godforsaken atmosphere and that piece of nature at the end of the staircase?). 

Your pictures are also an excellent showcase of some of the films that I like using a lot as well - because of their rich, dark character. Your treatment of these films certainly hits a cord. 

Have you tried the new/old Ferrania P30? I think it may be up your line.

 

Best regards,

 

Christoph

Thanks, Phil.  I don't want to waste good photo sharing thread time with background info regarding this particular culture of ultra-orthodoxy and erroneously assume that folks are interested.   However, I do give really good photo tours of this neighborhood if you are ever in town :)

 

 

 

Please don't stop uploading these pictures. They are wonderful to see as photographs and fascinating from a sociological/religious perspective. If I were to turn up in that part of Brooklyn with my camera I feel sure I would misunderstand people's sensitivities and get it all wrong. For instance, the children are just being children and enjoying the celebration; the men in their beautiful hats are proud of their community. Perhaps it should be one of your 'threads'!
