Re: My first roll of film in a Pentax in decades
I think their scanner is especially crappy. I used to get better results with Kodak 800 color print film scanned with my Scanwit 2720s at 9mp from 35mm film with pretty much any coke bottle bottom I mounted on a Pentax camera. With a good lens much much better, I could easily get excellent 8 x 10 prints. It took a long time to get a DSLR that bettered those results, the *ist-D was on par at lower linear resolution, but it won out because it was so much more convenient. Well scanned 6x7 should blow you away with detail, even with a less than stellar lens. On 7/18/2018 9:15 PM, Larry Colen wrote: Last year I was given a Pentax 67, it took me until a couple weeks ago to finish the first roll of Porta 400. Unfortunately, when Bay scanned it, they scanned it square, so I need to bring it in for rescanning. Here are the photos with the horizon straightened, color balance and exposure tweaked. They seem to be scanned at about 200dpi which may be higher resolution than the grain at about 30MP. Photographing with this camera doesn't have the comfortable flow of using the 35mm DSLR that I've had for 45 years. The general image quality seems to be a bit lower than that of an APS DSLR, except maybe in really bright light. I've got a second roll of film that I'll try to shoot a lot more promptly, but at the very least, using this is really making me appreciate my K-1. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157699216746255 -- America wasn't founded so that we could all be better.

Re: Blood moon in the Netherlands
Jos, that is a beautiful shot. It’s really nicely balanced, with the windmill, moon, and house; and the white house sets off the colors of the other objects. What is the orange rectangle below and to the left of the house’s chimney? One could clone it out.
