A flatbed is the type of scanner like your 3170. Dedicated film scanners are hardly ever a flatbed. The 3170 gives nice results with MF but not so good with 35mm. I might be wrong about all the people you mention but I'm pretty sure they all use dedicated 35mm film scanners made by Minolta and Nikon. I have a few scans on my website made with the 3170 or the 3200 but they all are made from MF. http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/26.html http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/26a.html http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/18.html http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/31.html http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/28.html http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/28a.html http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/paw2004/35.html http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/deOpleukerij/pages/002-006-3-002.htm All the other 35mm scans on my site are made on a Minolta dual 3 Best regards, Michiel Fokkema Luis Ripoll (Of) wrote: > 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.
