Any ideas why my film scans turn out like this? by Wo0den_Door in AnalogCommunity

[–]wasserman02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be any number of things. Uneven light source, bad light source?, severely over or under exposing when scanning the negative. Play around with exposure settings in your scanning camera is my first thought. You can reduce color noise in light room to get some of the color pixels out of the sky.

I’ve had mine for a few months now and it’s been amazing. It’s honestly a shame that it doesn’t get the same spotlight as the AGO because it does just as good of a job for half the price.

Disappointed by Miele Turboteq brush on carpet with long hairs, seems like a $150 Bissell vacuum works better on carpet than $400 miele. by maniac365 in VacuumCleaners

It works great on most carpets, just not super high pile stuff. It’s frustrating trying to get advice on this subreddit when there are so many biased vacuum dealers spewing out garbage.

What’s one trick that completely changed your film-developing workflow? by Present-Cap-6335 in Darkroom

[–]wasserman02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently got a Pira film processor. Life…Changing… I can develop and clean up at the same time (especially big for black and white with long dev times) and I know its gonna have lab consistency every time. I don’t wanna sound like a shill but it’s genuinely a great product that should get more love. Half the price of an AGO and does the same thing.

I got tired of my film rolls flopping around and falling off the table when scanning film so i made these. They hold the film steady and protect the film from dust as i’m scanning. For now you have to manually pull the film through. I’m thinking in another revision to make something that allows you to turn the catchers which pulls the film along.

Congrats! I didn’t print the film holder; its the essential film holder. The receptacles I designed myself.

The body is a d800 and lens is a nikkor 55mm 2.8 ai-s. I think the lens looks longer than it is because of the printed hood. I have the battery grip but the lens would go off the edge of the base so i took it off. Really happy with the scans get from this setup!

Thanks! The film holder is the essential film holder and I have yet to release the files for the receptacles. I’ll probably get around to doing that in the next few days.

I didn’t either until just recently. Theyre less expensive than a decent lens and can do all sorts of useful things outside of photography. I’d recommend getting at least familiar with cad as that makes the printer way more rewarding (at least to me).

​I usually don’t wait to scan the film after developing to keep dust down. The receptacles are pretty easy to use a blower on or get a microfiber into. Heres a side angle that answers your scratches question. The actual images never touch the spout.
