Re: film for medium format scanning

2005-12-17 by mark_roth_505

I recently switched to Kodak Plus-x (PXP) from Tmax 100 (I could not 
get a decent negative from the latter except by 
accident), ...developed at home in Rodinal, using an older 6x4.5cm 
Mamiya, and have been very pleased w/results for fine close-up detail 
shots. 

example:

I have about 30 such shots from that shoot, all came out like 
that...sharp and clean. However, in drab, drizzly grey light on the 
Oregon coast in October, it was a bit more tricky getting such results 
for landscape shots. I like this PXP for scanning, though, am using 
Epson 3170 flatbed, scanned at 3200 dpi. Hope that helps.
Best,
Mark
