I'm having trouble getting the LS-9000 to scan the two halves correctly sfor stitching so Epson it is. The camera was set as level and neutral as I could, and then I used some front rise to take less of the road, and more of the subjects. Second, something terribly wrong with my techniques, as the left edges from all 3 lens are markedly softer than the right. I have made sure that the negs are as flat as possible on the scanner holder, and this is visible on the negs also. This probably mean I did something wrong somewhere. I noticed that the SH 617 has front swing and the lensboard was ever so slightly might not have been parallel (but the amount is very minor), and it may very well be that the film plate was not set parallel enough. So this is probably a user error. Third, even at the best sharpest areas (on the right), things don't "pop out sharp," unlike for example, the negs from the XPan. I am having a dreadful feeling that someone can make this setup sing, but that someone may just not be me :-( I applied 20% sharpening with LR4.2, with the radius and detail set up their defau 150mm Fuji @F32 http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121018-Scanned-8.jpg 210mm Symmar-S @F32 http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121018-Scanned-9.jpg 90mm Fuji SWD @F32 http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121018-Scanned-10.jpg -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com>
