For me scanning film stopped about 8 years ago and I definitely will never get back into this process.These are from the same 2 rolls of HP5 as I posted from a couple of months ago. I just didn't have time to scan the rest until now. Hit rate film vs. digital? Huge difference!
Scanning is cumbersome, Peter, and it does take time. However, I'm very surprised how differently I see the world around me using a medium that limits the number of images, a medium that also locks me into one ISO and one kind of colour rendering. There's a lot of truth in the claim that there's a constant number of keepers in each medium, regardless of capacity, be it 12, 36 or 3,600 images.For me scanning film stopped about 8 years ago and I definitely will never get back into this process.
Just too cumbersome for me in times where I can achieve similar or better results by just going digital - not to speak of wasted time ....

Remember also that I live in Asia, where time is an unlimited resource. It's only in the west where people think time is a limitation
I have a 4 year old, and when she finally hits the bed, I'm more or less ready for the grave. Why do think it takes so long to get these photos scanned...? :ROTFL:Jorgen,
I need to agree with most what you say!
Albeit my 5 year old daughter will not allow me to take time for scanning over the next ten years I assume, so this is where I am really stuck
And then I might be really too old - who knows ....
Is it true that reindeers and their owners look alike or does everyone in Sweden smile? But it is nice to keep traditions up--leather harnesses, wooden sleds, and side-mounted GoPros.
