Shooting and Scanning - traditional vs. digital darkroom

2001-12-04 by Bernie Ess

Hello everybody on this list,

I would like to learn which film format and scanner you are using most on
this list.

I plan to buy a MF scanner, but I am still hesitating because of the grain
problems scanners have with b&w negatives (this is what I mainly do) . So
far I shoot most in 35mm and scan with a Nikon Coolscan IV (decent up to
8x11, just ok at 11x14). I will start 6x6/ 6x7 but don\ufffdt know yet whether to
go with the traditional chemical way or the digital darkroom (which is not
the cheap way).

Greetings Bernhard
