Fuji Frontier scans of E6

Well, having brought a few frames for scanning on a Frontier, here are a
couple results (cropped down).

The sunrise shot seems okay, but in the full scan it is blocked up a
little here and there.

The red leaf shot has lost a lot of detail in the leaves v. the slide.

Make sure you view at 100%

Velvia 100F, 500CM + 80mm f/2.8

Kodak E100VS, 500CM + 150mm f/4.

(The scan service wiped out the detail in the reds, unfortunately).

Comments?

Cheers,
Alan

So scanning services can suck.
Why am I not surprised.

If you want to control the process
carefully, get an LS-9000 or a used
LS-8000, and do it yourself.

I've noticed some digital capture devices seem to have problems with
saturated reds, turns into a solid mass of color. My nikon P&S digital does
this and have had some scans look like that as well. Not sure what causes
this?

I tried some fuji scans hopeing for an easy workflow, I wasn't impressed but
was shooting print film. Real weird color casts in the scans.

I have had the same problem with both slide and print film in this area. I
don't think they spend the time to " tweak" the Frontier since they don't do
many of the film scans anymore. It would be interesting to know if a "pro"
lab has the same problems as I used to do mine at Costco.

Mine was a "pro" lab. While the scans looked bad, he prints looked OK
although I never cared for that consumer fuji crystal archive though, WAY
too contrasty.
