I think scan a "large" neg on even a less pricey flat bed and run it up the flagpole on a gallery or website and its going to blow the 35mm stuff right out of the water. Even if it was full frame and shot with Aspherical Apochromatic glass or had jacked up megapixels. The richness still comes though and the fact that it comes from much more real estate. Acreage Acreage Acreage. The stuff just has more weight. The ponderousness of setting up a sheet film shot comes through. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Lottermoser George <imagist3 at mac.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:20:45 -0600 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] The final gasp of MF film? > > > On Feb 15, 2012, at 5:10 PM, Mark Rabiner wrote: > >> Though the output one sees in scans one makes or downrezes for an email >> to a >> friend or the LUG gallery or any gallery or our website is not going to be >> about the wonderful crispiness at the edge of each grain particle. > > For those rare purposes (of needing a decent digital copy of a film > negative) > I simply copy it with the 100 mm apo-macro-elmarit on the DMR > (or in the case of sheet film - scan it on my epson flat bed > though the 11x14 and 12x20 sheet film doesn't fit there either). > > Regards, > George Lottermoser > george at imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com/blog > http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
