Hi,
I recently took delivery of a Reflecta Proscan 7200 35mm film scanner and have been getting to grips with getting some quality images out of it. From my use of it over the last week or so, I've been able to get some very good quality out of it and here are a few scans on it from my negative/slide archive. All were scanned at the maximum 3600 dpi and then resized down to 3250 dpi to compensate for the effective resolved DPI of 3250 from test charts, multiexposure was used for the slide and 4 passes for each of the B&W negs. Some slight colour correction and sharpening has been applied in Photoshop Elements.
Pylon Insulators - Fuji Sensia 200
Pentax Spotmatic F, Lens likely Vivitar Series 1 70 - 210mm f3.5 (Kiron Version)
Aperture/shutter speed unknown
The insulators of one of the numerous electricity pylons in the fields near my parents home. Some shadow/highlight detail recovered with Kodak Digital SHO Professional plugin, slight grain reduction with Kodak Digital GEM plugin.
Lake Post - Fomapan 100, Aculux 3 1+19
Pentax Spotmatic F, SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8, Orange filter; Tripod
F8, scale focused, 1/8th second.
Aculux 3 used at 1+19 to compress tonal scale.
This is at the Marston Vale Millennium Country Park (also known by its old name of Stewartby Lake) near my parents home. I intended to make the focus fade away beyond the post to make it stand out by scale focusing but unless you look at it 1:1 its difficult to see and I slightly mis-focused so the foreground is slightly OOF.
Wilford Suspension Bridge - Fuji Acros 100, Aculux 3 1+9
Minolta Dynax 5, 35 - 70mm f3.5 - 4.5, Orange filter.
F11, shutter speed unknown.
This was one of my first B&W scans and I was not too careful before scanning it, hence the dust. The scratches were because of my clumsy loading of the film on to the spiral however and I have yet to remove all the dust/scratches from the scan (damn it why couldn't IR cleaning work on B&W!!).
What do you think? Comments and critique are very welcome.
