Several other guests shot digital D60, D10, Nikon D100. (it's the movie biz so everyone is a photographer...) I shot Fuji 160NPS and Kodak 400 Porta NC, which I have been scanning on my Nikon SCS 5000ED. I had totally forgotten just how good, professional color print stock looks. I hate to say it, but the neg scans look so much more lush than the digital stuff. The white gowns in particular (it was a bright sunny day here in Los Angeles). The film shots just have so much more dynamic range, it's not even funny. The Nikon scanner is putting out 3670x5625 scans, which are blazing sharp (current 2/50 Cron R and M). The big advantage that the digital shots have is the auto white balance and the Nikon D100 was better at it than the Canons. The Canon did really badly with tungsten lighting, very warm. The digital advantage really becomes obvious in mixed light... Secondly, thank Solms for the M7 and AE. Absolutely amazing. It's hard to believe that the whole metering system consists of a blotch of white paint and a meter cell.
