Looks to be a sound kit. I like the bridge scene and the church interiors. Stunning colors on the interiors ...

In the church, the wide angel really shines.
Great shots - can feel the depth and dimensions of space.

This was only chance to make quality shoots inside in church , I did use tripod and Nikon did measure light well at long exposition too. I think this combo my best 35mm system.

Gorgeous images, look at those colours! The 20mm seems to capture good detail too.

Very excellent, I think of 20mm as special purpose, limited in application, but you sure show how to use one!

Colors and details at infinity why I still love slides better than any digital a perfectly exposed (hard Smile ) slide unbeatable to me.

Really a good series.
If you like a suggestion, try using a UV filter when shooting Provia in blue sunny days. Provia has a tendency to enhance blues and in sunny days with blue sky, it may tint the shadows blue too much. A UV filter would balance the shadows tint (and the tint of objects in general).

Thank you! I will try it out.

Better film holder a lot, too user friendly software , I miss many settings.

Image output pretty much same if roll is flat. Due better holder more pleasant to use.

Hi, there.
Excellent series, beautiful city. Nice sharpness, seems the Minolta is performing quite good. I see a strong blue cast in some of the shots as already pointed out by Orio. Perhaps is possible to do something in post-processing to correct it, although I agree with Orio on filter using.

The film holder is the weakest point of the Epson Sad

Blue cast did come from post processing because I did remove magenta cast wrongly Laughing

Great series of your amazing city! Perfect interior shots, very well done Attila!
I agree with the blue cast, perhaps your monitor is on the warm side? Smile
Just search for my white blance tutorial, this should be corrected in a few seconds.

Monitor is fine my eyes wasn't I have to post process them again. Embarassed

Roger that! Smile

Just set the white balance and you will make them more than perfect. Smile
Your images are worth the effort!

What new scanner do you have Attila?

I was thinking of getting a new scanner too, one that would scan automatically a whole loader of 35mm slides.
I have a lot of slides from the past (from Budapest for instance and from other trips I made), but there is no way that I have the time to scan them one by one. I would like a scanner that automates a whole film, even if quality not as good as the Epson.

This scanner has nice holder it can scan 6 frames batch either framed or in stripe. I bought cheaply cost was 70 USD only. I don't know any affordable scanner what can scan larger batch.
