The scans on the URL below were made with a Microtek Artixscan 4000t from Ilford Delta 400. Sorry that I can't give the development specs of the film, but I don't have the facility right now, so it goes to a lab. The Noctilux was wide open in the three images, shutter speeds slow enough that I needed to brace on whatever was handy; I don't remember the numbers. The first page gives thumbnails of the images, click on the thumbnails for a larger image, and on the larger image for a full-resolution detail of shadow areas. The scans were fairly straight using the Microtek software; I made adjustments to the D-max and the gamma, no sharpening. I did no processing in Photoshop except for dropping bit depth, sampling down and cropping. The large images are close to full frame. Conversion to jpeg on the details has lost some detail, but you can still see the grain. http://www.borderless-photos.com/noctilux/noctilux.html I haven't been able to work in a wet lab for more than ten years. I might still be able to make a better print chemically than digitally, but I'd have to dig out old notes and dredge up rusty talents to do so. "Digital Rules!", no. Digital is a viable means of expression, yes. - -- Tim Spragens http://www.borderless-photos.com
