    Re: cezanne 5300 scanner

    Oh it was a typo, it is the FT-S5000, it sounds like you know a good deal of scanners, what scanner are you using yourself?
    is the cezanne FT-S5000 the same quality as a proffesional scanner? i mean if you have a epson v750 and a drum scanner where does it stand?

    is it noticable on a 30x40 prints or only really large prints?

    thanks a lot peter

Have the owner run the maintenance program and report what it says. If it is moved, the carriage must be locked in the home position. This is clearly detailed in the manual.

    Hi Barry, I have the FT-S5000, as well as a dslr scanner that I made. At various points I had other flatbed scanners, an Epson and a Canon, and I had a Nikon Coolscan V scanner.

    The Cezanne is a professional scanner. It cost over $30,000 new. See Tim Parkin's post, #42, to see some comparisons, at: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...-Scanner/page5

    Yes, Imo the difference is noticeable on 30x40 prints.

    Barry, if negatives are what you are going to scan, by all means, go and get a Cezanne, quick! I made the same experiences Tim Parkin made. First, the Cezanne has an awful lot of resolution, vastly more than the Epson, btw. Don't believe me? Check this out, std Cezanne FT-S5000, USAF test target:

    http://abload.de/img/usaf_testk7iid.jpg
    here is the documentation to the target: http://www.silverfast.com/PDF/resolu...et_long_en.pdf

    Depending on your judgement, you can see between 4600dpi and higher resolved. Mind you, this is the minimum resolution as USAF targets were not designed for digital image aquisitions, that'll be IMATEST for instance.

    Second, grain is very, very minimally emphazised. In terms of grain, its even beating my Tango when it comes to negatives. Third, the RAW data from the Cezanne is already log-encoded, which makes negative conversion quite efficient as the values do not need to be shifted that much. The log-encoding is probably done in hardware as this was commonly done around the time when the Cezanne was developed.

    I can give you samples if you would like to see how the output looks like.

    Best wishes,
    Christian
