Scanning Tech Pan

2004-02-19 by Richard Smallfield

Hi,
a while ago, when I still was using an Epson 1660 for scanning, I got a roll of Tech Pan and was totally blown away by the tones.

Then I got a Minolta SE5400 and can't get a decent scan from TP (every other film is great) - I can't get rid of the contrast and the highlights and/or shadows are severely clipped. No frames are useable.

I'm using VueScan and if anyone can suggest settings that work with TP, I'd be forever in your debt.

In the meantime it's back to Tmax100 or T400CN.

thanks,
Richard
