My second try on Film

[macrob]

I changed the scanner to Epson perfection 3200, though very old, feel much better than the previous canon 4400f.

yesterday, tried the super program+A50/1.7 in Arab St. area, sharing some pics here, all comments are welcomed.

Film： Fuji Superia 200,
Camera: Super Program,
Lens: SMC-A50/1.7,
Scanner: Epson Perfection 3200.




this one by M28/2.8

The colours looks so much different from the first time...so it's the scanner issue? hmmm

Looks very digital.

I think so. And this time the images are much more clean.

I'm using film as digital.

Hi Macrob
Nice shots! Makes me want to take out my K1000 to try a few myself.
The M50f/1.7 is a joy to use and gives very nice bokeh!
Colleagues looking at those film photos commented how nice the bokeh is and enquired why their P&S can't get this...

Just checking, did you scan the negatives or the positives?
I don't understand why but scanners seem to be slower these days. I bought an Epson V10 to scan negatives and it takes 12min at 300 dpi to scan one film strip. My older perfection series scans faster. I was thinking of upgrading to the V100 or V700 which seems to emphasise negative scanning but not sure if there will be appreciable increase in speed. I think your Epson Perfection 3200 is the older but high end model? How is its performance with film?

btw, here are some of my older film efforts. K1000+m50f/1.7 :

Thanks, bro. Using film (negative), I dun need to worry too much about the EV, coz the dynamic range is much better than digital. But the colour highly depends on film model and scanner.

Thanks bro. K1000 is really cool

I scan the negative films directly. My 3200 will take 5mins to scan one film under 3200dpi. My previous canon 4400f takes 10+mins to scan one film under 2400dpi.
For now I m satisfied with my epson 3200, it costs $800 5yrs ago, but I got it second hand, very cheap.
I think 3200' performance on film may be the top level even nowadays. V700 could be a little better, but still cannot beyond the limitation of flat scanner. If the budget is not a problem, and you expect using it much, upgrading to V700 is good choice.

Your film shots are really nice

Hehe... I was reffering to the "Hot Spot board" in the image

But you are right! the images do show great DR
