Scanning Experiments Part 2
I got back for the lab a large set of negatives from my most recent trip to the Llyn Peninsula . I was excited as I anticipated there may be a handful of decent images. I quickly set about scanning them. Since they were all taken with either my Fuji G617 or the Fuji GSW690iii I decided to scan them at 3200 dpi. (There is some debate as to the value of scanning beyond 2400 dpi on some scanners and higher resolution begets slower scanning in any case.) I had also recently purchase a BetterScanning medium format film holder and anti-newton glass insert as part of my drive to up my game in terms of scanning and image quality. Focus Height Before I could use my BetterScanning I decided I should make sure I had the film holder at the optimal height. There are a number of nylon screw feet that can be used to raid it from its default 1mm height. Finding a sharp image is the first challenge. I settled on my barrel cactus photo I used in the last round of experiments. I took a series o...
