new Fuji film scans (was Re: [Digital BW] Ordered a 5D today)

2005-08-25 by Sam McCandless

David's post reminds me to ask for advice about how well Fujifilm's 
new "Pro" color-print films scan (into RGB, for conversion in 
Photoshop).

In the case of NPZ 800 Professional, I'm not sure it hasn't simply 
been renamed Pro 800Z (and gone from $6 to $7 at B&H). Similarly, NPH 
400 Professional is being renamed Pro 400H (and going from $5 to $7 
at B&H). In both these cases, I think some redevelopment might have 
preceded the name changing and price bumping. (If so, I guess the NPZ 
is a bargain while it lasts.)

In the case of the NPC & NPS ISO-160 professional film, however, I 
think the re-development and presumed improvement might be coinciding 
with the change in name to Pro 160C and Pro 160S (and price hikes 
from $5.50 to $6.50 at B&H). So I'm most curious to know what others 
think of how well these new (I think) ISO-160 films scan.
