Re: My first roll of film in a Pentax in decades

I think their scanner is especially crappy.  I used to get better 
results with Kodak 800 color print film scanned with my Scanwit 2720s at 
9mp from 35mm film with pretty much any coke bottle bottom I mounted on 
a Pentax camera.  With a good lens much much better, I could easily get 
excellent 8 x 10 prints.  It took a long time to get a DSLR that 
bettered those results,  the *ist-D was on par at lower linear 
resolution, but it won out because it was so much more convenient.  Well 
scanned 6x7 should blow you away with detail, even with a less than 
stellar lens.

Here are the photos with the horizon straightened, color balance and

higher resolution than the grain at about 30MP.


Photographing with this camera doesn't have the comfortable flow of 
using the 35mm DSLR that I've had for 45 years. The general image 
quality seems to be a bit lower than that of an APS DSLR, except maybe 
in really bright light.  I've got a second roll of film that I'll try 
to shoot a lot more promptly, but at the very least, using this is 
really making me appreciate my K-1.

Yes, but the Spotmatic was an SLR, not a DSLR.  That was my point.

I purchased my Asahi Spotmatic in 1967.

In 1964 my flight instructor managed a camera store in Madison, WI.  He 
sold me a Honeywell branded Pentax H1a for $150 and I financed it at $10 
a month.  It was a real step up from my previous camera - an Argus C-3.

Re-reading this, I sound less friendly than I intended so I apologize.

I guess that related to what I am trying to say is that if you have a
nut to loosen there are multiple tools that might be employed to do
the job (crescent wrench, open end wrench, box end wrench, combination
wrench (using either the box or open end side), rachet wrench, nut
driver, socket set, or even a vise grip. Which one you CAN use in any
given situation is going to depend on things like how much space you
have to operate in; and it is going to RESULT in things like how long
it takes to get the job done (with some methods faster than others).

I think photography is kind of the same way. The tool we use
camera/format/sensor size/lens focal length/lens aperture/etc are all
sort of like that choice of tools to loosen a nut. But sometimes we
just look at all cameras as a hammer and then we look at every
imagemaking opportunity as a nail. Thinking about what a particular
camera/lens/sensor size/focal length/aperture brings to the final
image (as opposed to using a different tool) is part of the challenge
of getting better than average images.

Re: My first roll of film in a Pentax in decades

2018-07-19 Thread Darren Addy
You have to mean 2000 dpi.
200 dpi only gives you 450 x 550 on a 2-1/4 x 2-3/4 negative.

I think people forget the original “purpose” or reason for larger format
(film)
a) it requires less enlargement for the same sized print (magnifying fewer
of the physical film limitations, like grain) - so is better suited for
prints that are going to be wall-sized enlargements. This is not going to
be well seen (appreciated) if the display is on your monitor or typical web
page display.
b) people either forget or don’t know about how DOF is thinner, at
equivalent apertures, all other things being equal. This made medium format
especially great for portraits & weddings (closer focus photography vs
infinity photography). This page well explains this and shows it in the
SLOW sign photo, down the page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160819084802/http://silverbased.org/dof-vs-format/

So for example if you think the razor thin DOF of a 50mm f1.2 is great for
a shot you can achieve the same look with the 6x7 105mm f2.4 (both wide
open, obviously).

Frankly, Larry, your choice of subject, focal distance, AND display would
not show any of these advantages, even with the lens I mentioned.

You're right, I slipped a decimal place, a common hazard with slipsticks.



A typical good scan of a 6x7 negative in a proper film scanner should be at 
between 2400 and 4000 ppi, netting approximately 5480x6330 pixels (35Mpixel) to 
9130x10550 pixels (96 MPixel) resolution.


Yup, these are about 6200x5000 pixels.


"...the comfortable flow of using the 35mm DSLR that I've had for 45 
years..."…! Wow! Pentax has been making DSLRs since 1973? What did they cost back 
then? I mean the Pentax film SLRs were always considered a bargain…  :-)


Oops, that was a braino.



LOL! Funny typos, Larry. :-)

The Pentax 6x7 is a lovely thing, and the results from one should easily stomp 
a 6 to 12 Mpixel DSLR … but it's a good bit bit more work to use compared to 
any 35mm derivative SLR (or DSLR), regardless of whether that might be APS-C or 
FF format. It can produce outstanding results, if you are willing to put in the 
effort. Either it's worth the effort for you or it isn't.


I've got another roll of Porta 400 loaded.  Hopefully I'll get more than 
7 frames out of it. I guess I must have exposed the start to room light 
because I only got 7 frames out of the roll, which is kind of rough for 
$30.


I'll try to get this roll through it fairly quickly so I can return the 
lens to my neighbor and then decided whether to look for a lens for 
myself or an appreciative home for the body.
