Optimal BW film for scanning ?
2003-05-27 by B. Alex Pettit Jr.
There seemed to be lots of information about Tmax, TriX, and Porta400, but I am not sure I followed the thread to a decisive conclustion .... What is a good low grain ASA 100 ( or thereabout ) film that will scan well. Is a low contrast film better in that it is more compatible with the dynamic grey range of a scanner ? How do PlusXPan 125 and TMax 100 compare for scanning ? ( there is a somewhat old fondness of PlusX as it was the film I used when very young in some little 120 format Kodak back in the very early 50s ) Thanks, Alex
