Well, got the film today and did some scans. Now would be a good time to
reach for that big bottle of eyedrops that should be by your monitor!
First one, I dunno, I guess I was focusing on the stone bricks. I shot this
at f8 thinking everything would be within the focal plane, nope.
and the footbridge shot that I finally halfway like:
Getting bogged down:
And I included this one to let everyone know that what Larry does ain't
so easy!
Scanned at 1200dpi on Epson 4490.

First photo shows just how different camera/lens/focus can be from one setup to another, the bricks look good
I like the colors of 2 and 3. I have shots that are eerily similar to those, that I took on my walk through the woods the other day.
Every time you post film scans it pushes me to decide to take a film camera out for a test drive. I am going to a car show Sunday and I will now take my G2 along with my digital gear and get some film shots. I need to try out those lenses anyway!
Thanks for posting these up Bill! _________________ Michael Hill |

Thanks, Mike, appreciate your comments! Had to do an edit as these were
scanned at 1200dpi, not 2400. I haven't shot anything that I feel is worth
printing to scan higher!
The TLR is completely different than an SLR, DSLR, rangefinder, because
of the WL viewfinder and reverse image takes getting used to. I'll keep
practicing, maybe I'll improve, or you guys will have to buy more eyedrops!

Hi Bill.
I think they came out pretty darn good. The last one with the lavender/violet blooms is my favorite.
If I ever get caught up I'm going to play with the EOS 3 some more. _________________ Ron |

Don't put them down Bill, they're really nice. The three shots in the trees are a really difficult to get the exposure just right, with the very wide range of lighting levels. You're right that it shows up Larry's skill, but I think he often brackets the exposure with three or four shots of the same scene and chooses the best.
I've never been able to get as nice colours out of Superia as you've done, especially the greens, so well done. Mine always feel kind of "dull". It's not the saturation, I think that's quite good, but the colours all seem to lack lustre. Difficult (for me) to put into words.
Did you notice the Newtons rings on the roof timbers? Just a little area where the film was touching the glass platen in the scanner. I've had the same problem keeping film flat in the V700 MF mount. When I get round to it I might try one of these ANR glass mounts:

Yeah, I'll probably have to do the same (ANR) as he has one for the 4490, too.
Thanks for your comments! I plan on experimenting with the Kodak line
(Portra) to see how it does.

Thanks, Simon and Hacksaw,
Here are two more, the first being slightly better than the other interior
shot, above:
Both interior shots were at f5.6 or f8 and would have been better to use
ISO400 film to where I could've stopped-down more for the available light.

I like these shots also. I use Doug's holder and ANR glass on all my 4870 scans. It works great.

Seems to me you are doing really well, both with film and scanning. The results are noticeably better every time. That second interior is very evocative

Attila, congrats on the scanner! Larry is the expert around here when it comes to scanning/workflow. I plan on bugging him with some questions
I'll be posting in the film section. Almost forgot, lulalake (Jules) is the other expert on scanning images, has some great tips and advice!
Peterqd is another one that has much more knowledge on the subject than I do. If there's anyone I left out, sorry, but these three are my assembled panel of experts, so far.
I'm very happy with the 4490 and hope you got yours at a good price!
Bill

Ouch, Attila, you don't want to know what I paid for a factory refurbed one
that looked like new when I got it. Hope they packed it properly for safe
shipping.
