fotohuis Posted October 8, 2006 Share #85 Posted October 8, 2006 Very informative comments. It seems to be almost impossible to compare things 1:1 because also the scanner is changing things and adding noise. What about the highest optical resolution you can get (Zeiss claims: 400ln/mm) and a micro (ortho) film like this: http://www.spur-photo.com/dat_ort_ure.pdf At the end of the chain: What you see is what you get. Out of the range of any scanner? Or less extreme with an iso 25 B&W film (Rollei PAN25 or Efke 25). A technical spec of a B&W micro film of 800ln/mm versus color 80ln/mm, a huge difference of course.... Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal_meheut Posted October 8, 2006 Share #86 Posted October 8, 2006 BTW, about the fact that the scanner degrades the image more than enlargement, here is a comparison. Both pictures are 600 DPI scans of 30x40cm prints, resized from 3800 pixels to 900 pixels wide to be posted here. First one is a print from a Fuji Sensia 100 slide made by a professional and using contrast masking. The slide was shot using a Leica R 28mm/2.8 at f/8. The second one is a scan from a print I made on a Epson 2400 on Epson Premium Glossy paper. The scan was done at 4000 DPI on a Nikon LS4000 and slightly sharpened, no other postprocessing. So maybe the guy who enlarged it for me does not know his job but so far, the scan+print is sharper and has more details. P.S: the ilfochrome enlargement is quite nice though. Better colors in my opinion even if each new printer generation comes closer. Welcome, dear visitor!
