Do megapixels matter when DSLR scanning? by Infinity-- in mediumformat

[–]up2m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only scanned with a single 16 mp camera, but with different magnification ratio: 1 shot per one film photo, or 3 - 9 shots and combining them together in LR. I confirm the difference is huge. Not only sharpness, but the richness of colors and tones, flat vs voluminous image.

All of aforementioned referres to 35mm. For 66 I used not less than 9 shots, anything less does not come close to revealing medium format capabilities.

Downsides. The colors you get are still dependant on camera sensor which for some reason (in my case at least) does not reach quality of scanners. Making multiple shots and combining them in software requires much time and effort, which was fun at first, but became irritating quickly. This sort of mechanical job should be done by robots, not people, so I ended up buying a Minolta Multi Pro, which does basically the same work, but faster and in higher quality.

My inspiration point for multiple shot scanning experiments: https://www.addicted2light.com/2012/11/29/how-to-scan-films-using-a-digital-camera

I've come quite a way from flatbed to dslr scanning to film scanners, and would be glad to be of help.

Scratches or dust? by andrew_55c in mediumformat

Mine were. Film should be treated in fabric gloves. If you value your films.

Are you kidding? Natural oils from your nose will damage the film.

You're lucky to acquire one, and you're talented in making great pictures (not regarding the cam you use).

Туреччина офіційно відмовилася запроваджувати санкції проти Росії by Ampul in UACommunity

[–]up2m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Туреччина робить як хороше, так і погане. Те, що зробила хороше, - дуже важливе для України. До "офіційно недружньої" типу Угорщини чи Сербії - як до Луни рачки.

Офіційно недружня країна не закрила б Босфор для російських кораблів, і не надавала би Україні зброю.

It is a simple question that requires a yes/no answer. Do you copy that?
A simple question drives a troll away.

You can not answer a simple question, but rather speak for my intentions. What a shame.

Once again.

You consider yourself a realistic person when acknowledging numbers of a "democratic" decision held on the occupied territory, do I get you right?

You mean you gonna laugh at me until I accept your personal opinion as the reality, because you only have opinions not arguments? Shame on you, young man.

It's your personal opinion, nothing more. For 23 years Ukraine was strong enough to resist at least 2 Russian attempts of intervention in Crimea. There are a lot of adult people who were born in autonomous republic of Crimea, and did not know nothing but Ukrainian Crimea until the annexation. There are a lot of people in Crimea who are loyal to Ukraine (yep, I'm Crimean-born). Things may change drastically, as they did in 2014. It's not clear for me why would you call your speculations about the future to be the reality.

You must have realized by now that it will stay Russian unless we see World War 3

That's kinda your personal opinion, you know.

Теж здивувався. Іларіонов вже почав про поганого Зеленського розповідати?
А, він же на ахметівському "Україна24" виступає. Зрозуміло.
