[Leica] A roll of HP5: Monica and Brussels

[Nathan Wajsman]

Thanks Bernard. I have never had a dedicated 120 scanner. I do have a 35mm film scanner, the Reflecta RPS 720, but I hate the software that came with it (Lasersoft) and I also dislike Vuescan—I have tried to like it for 20 years but never came to terms with the clunky user interface and other aspects.

So I have settled for my Epson V700 flatbed, using Epson Scan. It may not give me maximum sharpness but the tones are nice, the user interface is great, and with film it is not about maximum sharpness anyway (compared to digital), certainly not HP5.

Cheers,
Nathan
