richam Posted September 10, 2007 Share #21 Posted September 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) You're unlikely to get the results you want from a flatbed scanner. I have one (Epson 4490) at my summer place and planned to use it for all my work there. I was disappointed with the results. I re-scanned some of the summer images on my Nikon 9000 upon returning home. The difference amazed me. This is from a portrait of an orthodox priest, at 100% on the Nikon @ 4000 dpi; reduced to 83% on the Epson 4800 dpi scan for comparison purposes. Welcome, dear visitor!

Mark Antony Posted September 10, 2007 Share #22 Posted September 10, 2007 I scan all my B&W silver based films with a Minolta scanner using Vuescan. I'm pretty happy with the results, while I think they have some scanner noise (looks like grain) I think it is acceptable for small prints. Above is a slow film (Adox 25) taken on my Leica, this prints with no grain upto 12x16. below is one shot on APX 400 100% crops from some of my films are here Photo Utopia: April 22, 2007 PS Michael how is the 4490 for 120? I have been thinking of getting one, but only use 5-10 120 per year. Have you a 120 example? Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
