how you guys scan 120 format?
"Steven Woody" wrote in message
oups.com... CoolScan 8000ED or 9000ED is so expensive, and flatbed is not my prefer though some flatbeds might be considered as good on 120 but are more than likely not so good on 35mm which is the format i also need. i dont't know where to go ..... Minolta DiMage Scan-Multi Pro. This does me for 35mm up to most of my 120. I have an ancient flatbed that I use for stuff for the web, and that does up to 4x5, but not 6x12 or anything bigger than 4x5 - all that I send out to be drum-scanned. I get exhibition prints drum-scanned quite often anyway, since I'm a better photographer than I am a scanner operator, and I have a good relationship with the scanning bureau. Wondering about a better flat-bed one day that will do my 5x7, 6x17, and 10x8 (a recent addition), if not for the best work, but for now I have more pressing calls on my funds. Peter |

Epson V700. One of the few flatbed scanners that I've used that even produces acceptable 35mm scans. Here's a scan from a 6x7 Fuji Provia frame at 1600dpi, resized down to 1024x832, about 1/16 the size of the original 14.9Mpx scan. Looking at the original scan at 100% enlargement, you can read the lettering on the bow of the ship in the far background. 3200dpi's very clean, and produces excellent large prints from a 56+Mpx scan. Dear Rob, by '3200dip's very clean', did you mean that more resolution more clean? even though it will be downsized to same smaller size. i interested the question because one of the big problem found in the files those labs scaned for me is that they are not so clean. - woody http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...1248298&size=o The included EpsonScan software is good, though the bundled Lasersoft Silverfast SE software is better. Film flatness is good, the holders have three height adjustments for "fine focusing", and the holders grip the film edges nice and tightly. The light source for film scanning is a separate cold-cathode tube that travels the length of the lid opposite the optical pickup. -- Rob on the Web - Trouble In Paradise http://rob.rnovak.net |

L.Boy....were all the images on your site scanned with the EPSON 4990?
You have some fine fine images BTW. I haven't used my RB67 in years but today I purchased a used 50mm lens that I've been scouting for awhile now. I'm hoping the lens is good and I get some great autumn shots. Do you use neutral graduated filters at all? "??Lonely Boy??" wrote in message ...

Yes, all of my photos after April 2005 are scanned by EPSON 4990. I don't
use photoshop and normally I correct the colour balance in the scanner interface and use Digital Ice for color film. I also use the USM (low or medium setting) in the scanner driver. -- --- Lonely Boy http://www.hmlai.com/ --- "I" . .. L.Boy....were all the images on your site scanned with the EPSON 4990?
