Another try at better scans

[spiralout462]

Here is what has just been developed, scanned, and uploaded from "The Darkroom". A little better than Dwayne's. I'm still on the fence about purchasing a scanner. I wish a manufacturer would put one in front of me that checks all the boxes! Needles to say, these were shrunk even more to post here. It's fun anyways!!

Usually, commercial labs don't scan at very high resolutions. They assume all you want is to email them and post them on FaceSpace.

The Hasselblad scanner ticks all the boxes apart from price, I use a V500 and Plustek 7500 and get great scans from these

I was just trying to avoid another machine in the office. Thanks for the tips.

I guess my next decision is ....Epson v600 or Canon 9000f mkii?

I'm actually taking pictures of the film in two and merging them in Photoshop. It's not easy to get right but the results are pretty good.

The lab I use charges 12 euros for really small scans. And I find I need less sharpening with the camera than I do with the scanner.

I agree, a multi-image pano of the film can give excellent results.

Interesting. I guess it's worth a shot!
