B&W film

2003-05-19 by kentho1937

Thank you all for your help.
The way I plan going is to buy a Nikon N/F 75 and scan the negatives 
shot on Tri X into Photoshop.
Todays question. I have kept all my negatives from 50 years ago - 
Black and White, shot on my Leica - and am really enjoying myself 
scanning them into Photoshop. I will eventually burn all the digital 
photos onto CD.
Does anyone else have a Nikon LS2000 35 mm scanner that could offer 
me any tips. At the moment scanning the negatives is frightfully  
slow.
I have scanned and printed the Users Manual, The Reference Manual and 
the Nikon LS 2000 Scanner Manual to a size I can read, but almost all 
of the information is for colour negatives or slides. There is 
precious little on Black and White negatives.
Is it true that my new Nikon N/F 75 was made in Thailand or China?
Yuk.
With the way the Australian Dollar is going I will be buying from 
America. I am going to Thomas Cook and exchanging our monopoly money 
for your greenbacks.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Ken,

I have a 4000 rather than a 2000.  I noticed a real pick up in scanning speed when I got a machine with a fast processor and a lot of memory. It also markedly speeds up anything you might want to do in photoshop. My current set up uses an Athlon 2200+,  has 1gb of ram; it has made a significant difference from my old machine which had a 700K processor and 256M of ram. I use chromogenic B&W film for the most part and scan with ICE on. Even at that the scans are only a minute or so. 

Roger
