[Leica] Troubles with the scanner

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll (Of))]

Hi Michiel,

Thanks for your answer, I'm sorry but I don't know what is MF?, neither
"flatbeds"..?

Anywhere, I've get one film scanned in a professional Laboratory, is a
very good one, the scanned slides I had was better than mines but very
far away from the transparency quality, and I'm not at all convinced by
the digital way.

Nevertheless, I can't understand why on B&W negatives can I obtain
acceptable results, as well with Colour paper. But never, never, never
as the other colour pictures I see on the LUG from, as I've said, i.e.
Andrew Nemeth, Nathan etc.... 

Maybe I don't do correctly the procedures...

Thanks for your comments
Luis Ripoll

Hi Luis,

I'm sorry to tell you that this scanner is not best one for scanning 
35mm slides. But it should give you reasonable quality and all the 
slides should scan in total.
Most people(like myself) only scan MF on the flatbed scanner because 
they give good quality for a very low price.
35mm is mostly scanned with dedicated scanners. The cheapest(eur 350) is

the Minolta dual 4 which already gives much better quality than the 
flatbeds.


Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
