Excellent - very crisp, amazing blacks - and wouldn't be the same w/o the hat.

Maybe the tail end says more:Very nice! Though it looks more like an old 49-51 chevy from here.
Thanks The real kick is to see the originals on the light table, it's like looking through a very clean window. Staring down on some 200-300 megapixels of detail is something you can't experience in the digital world.Incredible details and beautiful tones in those two images Lars!
It must be quite a feast to see them printed big.
I was surprised by the birds, too. You can see that one has moved, but not by as much as I was expecting.I was surprised that the birds were sharp, but based on a 1/120 line speed and the fact that each bird is about 1/40 the length of the image, it must have taken about only 2 seconds to scan them.

Don't forget also that the direction of the waves' movement is important in relation to the direction the back is scanning. Maybe you could do a couple more tests...?JimCollum said:to show the effects of Line speed on wave/water artifacts

That's a function of the lens, rather than the back used. The Betterlight would have looked the same (only higher resolution smoothness). The Verito is an old soft focus portrait lens that is soft and ghostly wide open, and becomes tack sharp as you stop down. I guess a side by side at the same aperture will be in orderAmazing details down to the molecular level from the scanning back!!
Jim, I am wondering why even the uncropped image from the Aptus appears so soft compared to the one from your scanning back ?
Regards,
Francois
yes, the IR can be a little softer than the visible only images. but a *lot* sharper than the equivalent film IR captureJim, I like the 2nd image a lot! The waves are just perfect.

Regarding IR, do you find the resulting images significantly softer when visible and IR lights are combined, as opposed to IR only or visible only ?

Not to be outdone by Jim's scanning back here's a 100% crop from a 2 gigabyte scan (8x10 E100VS, scanned at 2000 dpi). The upload here seems to sharpen a bit but those are actually grains of sand.
I think Lars has been to Brobdingnag, and those grains of sand are actually a lot bigger than you thinkshowoff
