That was impressive result with the Plustek 120!
What made a substantial differens with my Epson 700 was the use of film holders that I could adjust the height of.
It is a bit of a lottery when the Scanner don’t have a autofocus system!
So I am happy with the Epson 700 för 4X5 or bigger, there it is no problem to print big from those scans.
But it is from 6X6 and up, I want a bit more detail. And it is there I am a bit suspicious about the Plustek scanner because it is not autofocus.
That means that I am back in the lottery department regarding the individual exemplar I get of the scanner!
The info about the Braun scanner was new to me. Thanks Jorgen :thumbup:
I did like the fact that it had auto focus!
But as always, I need to do a little bit more investigation regarding scanners.
But interesting things happens with multi-scanning.
One way is to: Scan, tap the scanner lightly, rescan, and then use PTgui to combine scans for higher resolutions.
The simple test I made got me better result than multipas in the scanner. But I will do more tests.
Film, it is like paper for your ink printer
You can work with them all and drive your self crazy, or stick with a few and really learn them.
I mostly use Porta 160 and 400 + Ektar for medium format and 4X5 for C41
Regarding E6 I am still testing what I will stick with.
I dont shoot much black and white. But I have a lot of Shanghai 100iso B/W film from 120 to 8X10. and maybe 800 sheets go 8X10 X-ray film…
I will put up some film example later. This is the last of my 4 week here on the island.
And it been the worst 4 weeks in the last 11 years I been here
Not ONE really good sunset. Lots of heavy clouds and rain in the west that blocks the sun. But next year…
Soon it is time to go visit Söderåsen nature reserve and the beech forest there in the fall!!!
