Re: [Digital BW] Optimal BW film for scanning ?

2003-05-27 by B. Alex Pettit Jr.

Hi Anthony,

I think I will try each the PlusX125, TMax100,
and Porta400. I agree, a lower contrast negative
is much less taxing on the abilities of a scanner.

Trying to scan some 100 year old glass plate 4x5s
on a Microtek X12USL flatbed was quite unsuccessful.

Thanks,
Alex
