Good point about the "one hour type" lab. I develop my own B&W - though I know of 3 good labs in town to which I send most of the color work. One of them does excellent drum scans which I go to when I have an image I really want to get 'right'. Still saving up for my own Imacon. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Austin Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 12:05 PM Subject: [filmscanners] Re: scanning TMAX 3200
It's true that high quality silver-based B&W film, when properly exposed and developed, has a higher dynamic range than chromogenic B&W. It's also true that it is not a classic "wet darkroom" film, since it's normally developed by a one-hour type color lab. However, based on my experience with a "consumer" film scanner, low priced scanners don't have the dynamic range to handle the range of density that good B&W negatives can produce, so this may be a moot point. The chromogenic films are certainly convenient, especially for the darkroom challenged, but I don't think that there's one out there with all the speed that TMAX 3200 offers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
