    Re: Yet another MF/LF scanner comparison question

    I've seen the results for myself and would go for the Nikon 9000. However, I've not seen the 4x5 under Microtek M1. That scanner is supposed to be better than the Epsons.

    I started out shooting slides in 35mm and B&W in 4x5... but now it's the other way around. The thing is that I notice a huge difference between the quality of 35mm slides and 4x5 slides,...

  9. Re: Purely Theoretical Musings on Resolutions and Formats...

    they test Minox lenses with TechPan film, and got 177 lp/mm f/3.5. so assuming TechPan itself has a resolution of 320 lp/mm, then that means that Minox lens has an aerial resolution of 360 lp/mm.

  11. What 35mm lenses that give full image circle on 4x5?

    contact prints from 5x7 also tiny... 8x10 is a must for contact prints anyway!
  13. Re: How many holders do the 5X7 and up crew carry with them for a shoot?

    that's why 4x5 is better. i can fit the camera and a dozen holders in my backpack.

    Re: Optimized aperture

    "optimized aperture" is meaningless when a good lens can give you the same 60 lp/mm from wide open at f/4.5 down to f/22. beyond that, diffraction limits resolution.

    Re: Beginner's questions about print size

    it depends on your standards. i use a D50 too and can tell you that a 4x5 scanned on a cheap Epson will give you 10x the resolution of the D50. A drum scanner would be much better still.
