Hello all,
Looking for opinions on
1. Dynamic range - Literature says 160 has +3/-2, I think, and Ektar is less.
I've scanned Ektar on a imacon x5. The highlights were shot at 4 to 5 stops over but the scan had no highlight detail.
I have read that Neg film can easily record 8 to 10 stops in the highlights. Do you need a drum scan to bring that out?.
Will Porta 160 give more latitude in the Highlights, if scanned on Imacon, or on drum sacnner?
2. The trade off might be grain size and or resolution?
Does 160 have obtrusive grain or lower resolution than Ektar?
My goal is to end up with 40x50 from 4x5 - 10x enlargement.
Thanks
