Digital Slide Scanners

2017-04-10 Thread Bipin Gupta
While working in the Middle East, circa 2007, we had an HP Scanner that took slides or 35 mm negative roll film (6) #s at a time. It had an ingenious double lid with the top one for film and the bottom lid for the normal document or photo scan. It had (2) separate scanning lights one inside the

The way I scan medium format now uses the Leica BEOON copy device. It is essentially a dedicated kit of extension tubes and a stand to take a Leica M body and lens, with masks and settings for 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, and 1:3 reproduction ratio framings. With adapters, I fit my Leica SL body and

It would be nice to come up with something for medium format that doesn't cost a terrible amount of money. Right now I'm thinking that a light table and a slab of anti-newtonian glass would be best. On Sun, Apr 9, 2017 at 9:58 PM, Bill wrote: > On 4/9/2017 1:56 PM,

I still have three scanners, LS8000 for roll film, V700 for generating contact sheets, rough scans and 4x5+. For 35mm film stocks I use a dedicated 35mm scanner which is optimised for the task, it's a Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II, it's the bee's knees, that said any scanning is a PITA.

I created customized camera calibration profiles for my Leica SL that do the correct inversion for both color and B negatives. they're now almost as easy to capture with the copy setup as slides. "Almost" because the inversion means the controls in the Lightroom develop module work reversed
