"Dps" servis*REMOVE wrote in message ...
I scan 35mm at 40+ Mp. But I think the equivalent in terms of ISO100 grain is 20Mp, I am not sure though... "Matt" wrote in message ... I heard someone say that 8Mp digital cameras were the equivalent to 35mm film quality? Does this mean they have the theoretical equivalent resolution? Are they the equivalent to 35mm? It's the difference to me between analogue and digital music, you know the music is stepped, and so with b/w film photos there are infinite shades of grey which no amount of easy-to-store digital can carry, even if it appears to be there! And darkroom dodging never looks anything like as dodgy as photoshop dodging, imho! |

I have not done it ....but have looked at some slides in microscope where a
calculated lp/mm was calculated. I got the information that kodachrome 25 should be able to resolve 250 lp/mm .....from a person which normally gives reliable information :-) (not seen it on paper). Equipment used was an OM-4 with a selected 50/1.8 (a "lucky" one....out of many). What does Fuji say about Velvia 100F? Max "Stephen H. Westin" skrev i en meddelelse ... "MXP" writes: In the old Kodachrome 25 days it was possible to put down 200 lp/mm on the film. When did those days end? The Kodachrome data sheet as of December, 2000 had Kodachrome 25 Professional (PKM) down to 10% MTF at 70 cycles/mm. Presumably rather lower than that at 200. Assuming, of course, that you could produce 200 cycles at the image plane, which isn't at all easy. Ever notice that the highest frequency on lens MTF charts seems to be 40 cycles? snip -- -Stephen H.

From: "MXP" I have not done it ....but have looked at some slides in microscope where a calculated lp/mm was calculated. I got the information that kodachrome 25 should be able to resolve 250 lp/mm .....from a person which normally gives reliable information :-) What does Fuji say about Velvia 100F? I'm pretty sure Velvia (50) was rated at 160 lp/mm for the high contrast target and K-25 was rated at 125 lp/mm. As I remember it these were the "official" data sheet numbers, obtained by actually shooting the films instead of looking at them on a microscope. |

Equipment used was an OM-4 with a selected 50/1.8 (a "lucky" one....out of many). What does Fuji say about Velvia 100F? Well, Velvia RVP (ISO 50) seems to be a bit over 30% at 70 cycles.

This would imply that you when dooing stright scans, you don't need resolutions above 2700dpi or so - which is not true. Plenty of detail remains unseen at that level. Does this mean they have the theoretical equivalent resolution? Are they the equivalent to 35mm? Neither. -- Sander +++ Out of cheese error +++ |

Well, the actual resolution would depend a LOT on the lens used, for example. (with both images). 35mm = 6MP is very simplistic. Lourens I've calculated it to be exactly 7.445239 Mpixels but my methods are secret. Not many people expected this because it turns out to be an odd number. -- Owamanga!

"Matt" wrote in message ... I heard someone say that 8Mp digital cameras were the equivalent to 35mm film quality? Kodak, on one of their web pages, has indicated that 24MP is equivalent to the potential of 35mm film. This is just in theory. I have a 2.3 MP digicam that produces very fine images, when printed by OFOTO. It is all relative. |
