The demonstration on this site simply demonstrates to me that this Canon camera is very competent. It also demonstrates to me that anything LESS than a good drum scan from a good film exposure using low grain film on 6x7cm is not as good as regards sharpness, density range and clarity of tonal separation.
Hi Richard,
I've no argument with your conclusions. I was just passing the link along in answer to Slater's question.
This IMO is more a case for using drum scanning perhaps, but then not everyone needs or can afford drum scans from all their images at $300 for a throw...top grade drum scans in the UK are far, far cheaper than this!
Exactly. I shoot 35 for the kinds of subjects I cover. I can't justify the cost of drum scans on a regular basis. So this test and its conclusions are valid for me. In fact it has persuaded me to abandon Nikon after 22 years of accumulating kit and start over with Canon. Not a cheap proposition, but this test helped influence me in that direction.
Of course you could say that the same investment could buy me a lot of drum scans and that's true. But the immediacy of digital capture seals the deal in my mind.
Kind regards, Deborah
