[filmscanners] RE: Scanning negs vs. slides

["Alex Zabrovsky" <alexz@zoran.co.il>]

Thanks Petru.
I think I'l conduct some tests with Sensia II 100 (my usual slide film),
Superia 400, Reala shooting similar scenic and scanning them further. Will
see which will hold better..

Regards,
Alex Z

Alex,
I found the best comment on the topic of slides vs negs in a photo
magazine a few days ago: "The negs can record many levels of light (wide
input range) but the slides can capture many more tones in a narrower
input range". That's why usually a well exposed slide looks very rich,
very dense.
When I did some informal tests with my Polaroid SS4000 I was impressed
with the Provia 400F scans - very good color reproduction and low grain.
My 400 speed negs weren't that spectacular. Granted, I was using
consumer grade film: Kodak Max 400 and Fuji Superia 400.

Petru.
