Rob, I'm trying to decide on which film to use with my 6x9 cameras. I'm planning on taking 2 weeks next mont to photograph Northern Ontario's brilliant autumn colours. I was planning on using Velvia film, as per many MF users recommendation, but I'm open for suggestions. I do like NPS for general photography and I just shot my first roll of NPC (no proofs yet). I am planning on getting an Epson 2450 scanner soon, so any advice on which film would give me the best results is apreciated. So far the most vibrant colours I've seen were shot with Velvia film.
TIA, Jeff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Studdert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 6:56 PM Subject: Re: Sanning negs vs positive tranparinces > On 29 Aug 2002 at 15:05, Herb Chong wrote: > > > negatives have less brightness range than slides. you will still get best > > results from scanning slides if you have a good enough scanner. > > Why do you believe this?
