A good argument for buying a film scanner

[wendy beard]

I know I'm preaching to the converted here, but I thought I'd post the results from some scans I did today.

By the way, the scan of the print is pretty much true to life. That's the sort of quality I'm getting back from the photo lab. Why they can't get it right with equipment costing thousands of dollars and I can get results 10 times better with a film scanner costing $500CDN, I don't know. The three scans are unmanipulated, they are just as they came out of the scanner. Contrast, colour and sharpness haven't been altered.

Now if only it wasn't so tedious scanning negatives..................
