No, it isn't. That scanner has been sold under several different brand names for at least a decade. Reflecta, the manufacturer, disagrees with you. While they sell the same scanner under the Reflecta brand, both were introduced in mid-2011, at which time they claimed it was their first "midformat" scanner: https://reflecta.de/uploads/files/20...r-englisch.pdf I find no evidence to back your claim, and substantial evidence to the contrary including your own posts of late last year. I just had some sashimi, so I await some evidence with baited breath. -- Mike Benveniste -- (Clarification Required) You don't have to sort of enhance reality.

Resolution isn't bad, but Dmax is poor. Yeah, but never forget you can use HDR on film scans as well! |

Most of the dedicated scanners do. It's got more to do with the software that controls them. Piece of cake with Nikonscan and Vuescan. |

Only way to handle things like the b&w very slow, very high rez films. Developed in Technidol, they easily exceed the max dynamic range of a coolscan 9000. Leaving me the only option: HDR. Not much left of my Technidol stash, though. And idiotic Kodak refuses to give the formula away so others can make it... |

The film he shoots nowadays is B&W neg and he prints that the old fashioned way, and he has already scanned the colour slide film that he shot in the past. Peter. -- |

I'm a bit of a home printing nohope. Mostly because I can't seem to find a print setup that will last more than 2 years: makers keep changing the print heads/ink containers and quite frankly I don't play that game anymore - too expensive! Most of my prints are done at a specialty shop I've been using for a while. They do get tremendous results on conventional paper. Of late I've also been taken with their canvas printing: a novelty that I quite like the results of. Big A3+ prints on canvas look almost hand-painted and are quite spectacular, but they have to be processed/scanned a bit less dense than for paper and the density/dynamic range is not as wide. My current Epson inkjet printer is 6 years old, and cartridges are still available both locally and through ATLEX and such places. If you're seeing two-year product lifespans, you're buying consumer-grade printers (*MINE* is a consumer-grade printer; the R800, limited to letter size, not supporting good B&W printing). -- David Dyer-Bennet, ; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info |

I can't afford the space for a dedicated print shop, so I've got to stick with scanning. have both the 5000ED and a back-up 4000ED, and also an Imacon Flextight which I bought for a tiny sum of money at a bankruptcy sale. How do you find the Flextight compared to the Nikons? Always wanted one but Hasselblad's prices are a bit of a joke... ------------------ A few years ago I bought a digital head for my Durst enlarger at huge cost. At first it disappointed me because I expected I'd get the results from c41 monochrome I could get using condenser enlargers and conventional film. In frustration I went back to condensers for saleable art printing. It wasn't until I began using vuescan with Lumina fluid on my 750m Epson scanner, I discovered the usefulness of digital enhancement of my images. I know this method is primarily for trannies and color film at that but C41 process is basically color. When I decided to buy an s5 Fujifilm camera my perception of photography changed forever. Now I don't have issues with grain at normal (ISO 160) film speed and I can manipulate the images to make them impossible to distinguish from any of 20 different film types. The exceptional Dmax (in monochromatic mode) of a s5 is little recognised by dyed in the wool B&W shooters. The thing that finally convinced me to go 100% digital was DxO Film simulation software (to imitate all the traditional films) I've bypassed the mess we call a darkroom. Something I believed I would never give up yet I've managed to achieve fine art prints from a Canon 12 colour inkjet printer I never thought possible. The big question now is will they last as long as a properly fixed and correctly washed print. Chloe |
