![]() I do agree for digital camera scanning, with some restrictions. Have been away for twenty five years, however. ![]() I grew up in Easton, so Fairfield is home-adjacent to me. Is there a particular reason you are resisting it? For the price you are willing to invest in getting a scanner and the software/computer to use it, you could probably set yourself up with a good camera scanning solution that would be easy to set up and take down, and be more efficient than the older scanners. I agree with Ouroboros that the best solution for most people these days is a decent camera scanning setup, especially for B&W. I have been using Imacon and Hasselblad Scanners for my lab since 2006, along with a V850 for 8x10 and prints. They are also not fast in their higher resolutions. The problem with all of these is age and old software requirements/connections, I believe. ![]() I had a Scan Dual IV when I started, and that also did fine. I used to have a Minolta Scan-Multi Pro which did a good job, and I recommended a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 to my dad, and I think that worked great as well. I think the problem is that most anything good is either expensive, old or inconvenient. Other things to consider are the 'scan' quality from a 24mp+ dslr and a macro lens will give you far better quality files than scanning 35mm film with a consumer level Epson flatbed scanner and there will never be any connectivity or software update issues with a dslr, either! The speed advantage of digitising 35mm film this way is a compelling argument in favour of dslr scanning. When Nikon announced the ES-2 adapter, I decided to try it out. I dismissed the idea of scanning 35mm negs with a dslr for a long time but already have a Nikon D810 and 60mm micro-nikkor that I use for work. If I decide I want a better quality scan of selected individual frames, I scan these with my Imacon scanner which gives me 6300dpi scans but takes considerably longer per scan.ĮTA: " I do not wish to do digital camera scans." I can copy a whole 36 exposure film in just a few minutes and work on the RAW files in PS. For speed, particularly with b/w film, I use a Nikon D810 with a Nikkor 60mm micro lens and ES-2 film holder.
