great. yes I'm absolutely convinced that the quality of prints is terrible compared to what you used to get

hello not been on in a while and only shot 1 roll of film in so long (had a baby!) but a quick question if anyone knows for sure boots lets say, how do they produce their prints nowadays? are they digitally scanned?

i have the Epson 4490, after some teething problems (no holder, got it off ebay cheap) it's great. people bid more on the V500 but the 4490 is great. Some images [/IMG]

oh really? any chance of a link?

http://re35.net/ I just remembered this and yes i fell for it! But my question is, how possible is it this could happen? Surely someone can convert analogue cameras to digital sooner or later? :thumbs:

what about this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190881767215&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

what do you think about the lomo one?

that definitely doesn't appear to be specific to any scanner in particular.

but in terms of holding the negatives flat, it should do the same thing surely?

would this be any good to use on an epson 4490? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35mm-Negative-Slide-Holder-/221212318577?pt=UK_Scanners&hash=item3381481b71

those 2 were taken with kodak hd film which is 400 ISO i believe but i shot it set at 200 ISO. the one of my wife and friend i suppose if the sun was behind me rather than to the side then their faces would have come out better? can someone please clear this up on here as i've read many...

looking at it again, you're correct, it's their faces that are the problem really as they're too dark. advice taken. I still don't think it's as sharp as it should be. problems this morning even getting the bloody thing to warm up so hesitating on buying a scanning mask :(

i'm sure i don't have anything ticked. how would sharpening make the image grainier? not sure i understand
