Re: [Digital BW] RE: Is this noise or what? (was: Epson3200 - Test results)

Alessandro,

>If it's not noise, then, I guess that what I see in the image
below is
simply grain, possibly grain aliasing. What is your opinion? BTW,
I get the
same result also using Epson carrier, without oil mounting.<

Grain, possibly enhanced by antialiasing. Instead of overexposing
a fast negative film you better use a slower negative (colour)
film. Less grain. I do overexpose the 160 ASA Fuji NPC negative
colour film to stay a bit more in the middle of the film
latitude. The camera is an old but good Iskra 6x6 folder that I
can carry in my pocket and the light is measured with an old
Lunasix III carried in the other pocket. So I have to be careful
with light. I'm a printer, so the money is in other equipment.
