Right, we have had a lot of talk about testing scanners and swapping negatives etc recently, so it may be best that we have a thread in which to organise this and then collate the results (that may require a different thread). I think a good plan is for each person to scan a specific negative on their scanner for each format that it can handle and then pass on the negatives and post the results. We should try to 'equalise' the settings on the scanning software as much as possible. Hopefully in this way we should be able to build a database of scanned photos that allows us to work out which scanners we think best and help answer those eternal 'what scanner' questions.
I am happy to collate this and have 2 sets of 35mm negs in mind that I don't mind posting for this (we should, by the end get these back!), 1 colour and 1 B&W, each with a good photo for the test. If someone else has some MF to donate that would be great. We could include LF but I think only a limited number of scanners will be able to scan this (mine certainly can't).
So, thoughts, ideas and what scanners do you have?
