Re: Chromes,was: Hi there
It is not so much about ICE, but everything came out very very dark with Kodachrome. And yes, I did turned off ICE. Regards, Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan I don't have a film scanner but I think the major issue is that digital ice (or other similar dust spec software) doesn't work with Kodachrome. _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Re: Chromes,was: Hi there
Yes I did. No luck. :-( Luckily I use E-6 most. Regards, Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan Are you sure that Digital Ice is turned off on the F-2900? I scanned Kodachrome on my Minolta without problem, and have had no problem with it and my Canon FS4000. But it does not work well with IR based dust removal filters. _ Tired of spam?

Re: Chromes,was: Hi there
Robert Gonzalez asked: "I've heard that because of the type of light source this uses that Kodachromes don't scan well. Do you do anything special to get them to come out right?" I don't have a film scanner but I think the major issue is that digital ice (or other similar dust spec software) doesn't work with Kodachrome. Tom Reese
Re: Chromes,was: Hi there
Are there any scanners that work well with Kodachrome? I posed this question to Kodak and they sent me this lame list of old Kodak scanners that are no longer made. rg Alan Chan wrote: My Minolta Scan Elite F-2900 does a terrible job on scanning Kodachrome, and it uses cold-cathode fluorescent tube . :-( Regards, Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan some scanners, particularly the ones that use LEDs for their illumination, do a terrible job of scanning Kodachrome. _ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Re: Chromes,was: Hi there
Hi, Kodachrome 64 is lovely film, I think. I use it for most of my colour photography other than family & friends snaps. Here's one I don't think I've shown here before. One of my recurrent themes is people reading; this is a nun in a monastery garden in Northern Romania: http://www.web-options.com/Moldovita1.jpg (with thanks to Valentin Donisa for driving me around!) But, since using the Kodak Supra range of print films, and also scanning them, I'm beginning to suspect I like Supra better as an all round film. The colours are more muted, with less contrast and a subtler range of tones. Kodachrome can sometimes look rather brutal by comparison. -- Cheers, Bob Tuesday, January 13, 2004, 5:34:58 PM, you wrote: > Actually, I also enjoy Kodachrome 64 as it was the predominant film my > father used to use, and he turns out such beautiful slides that I also have > an appreciation for it.

Re: Chromes,was: Hi there
Actually, I also enjoy Kodachrome 64 as it was the predominant film my father used to use, and he turns out such beautiful slides that I also have an appreciation for it. In fact, it was the first roll of film I used in my new Pentax, and I am still waiting for the slides to come back. Oh the agony of waiting!!! I hope to scan them and show you guys.

Wow! Thanks so much. I will definitely save that for future reference. What kind of birds do you take pictures of? Is that a hobby or your job?

Re: Chromes,was: Hi there
A highly subjective, quick and dirty run down of the major Echtacrome slide films (ISO 100 and less): Velvia: (ISO 50, many people shoot it at ISO 40): Delicious saturated colors, saturated but accurate, fine grained, high contrast (especially at ISO 50), narrow latitude, the standard for many nature photographers. Obviously, very slow. Provia (ISO 100): Fine grained, good color accuracy and saturation but rather low contrast. Decent latitude. Also the standard for many nature photographers. I bought a brick of it last year - it's OK and I got some good shots using it. I prefer the Kodak emulsions that are a bit punchier but would use Provia without a second thought if need be. Kodak E10oG: I've only shot one roll of this. It's said to be nearly identical to the E100S film that it replaced. E100S was fine grained, had a bit more saturation and contrast than Provia (IMO), about the same latitude. It's been my standard for serious work - I still have a brick in the freezer and will probably switch to E100G when it's gone. What I like about this film is the color accuracy and saturation - when I look at the fine gradients in a bird's feathers, IMO E100S and Vevlia do the best job of capturing the subtle tonal changes. But I miss too many bird shots with the slow shutter speeds with Velvia, so prefer E100S. Kodak E100 VS: Very saturated, not quite as fine grained as E100S / E100G, higher contrast. Can be a great film in the right conditions. My #2 choice after E100S. Sensia: I've hardly ever used it so have no opinion. Kodak Elite Chrome: Kodak's "consumer" ISO 100 standard saturation slide film. Good stuff, great with reds, a little more grainy and less sharp than E100S. Kodak Elite Chrome EBX: The high saturation consumer slide film. Wickedly sharp, somewhat grainy, very punchy colors and high contrast. I've not used the Agfa RSX films for some time, but found them to be quite good a few yeas ago when I did try them out.

Hi For Chrome film,some of us TOPDMLers like Kodak 100vs.I also like the Fuji Provia 100. Dave
