Hi.
I am currently using a Nikon D7200 and macro lens to scan my 4x6 and 35mm negatives. I've noticed that my 4x5 images tend to be a little flat and lack contrast and are generally pretty boring looking. They are sharp and all get out, but otherwise just meh... After some tweaking in software they look better. Hold that thought...
The images from the Nikon F100 seem overexposed. That could be from a variety of reasons, but, here's my question....
When using a DSLR to scan, what impact will that have on the original negative image? I shot my negatives on a light board at f8 100 ISO.
Here's where I'm going with this....I'm trying to figure out if my F100 meters too bright and if i need to underexpose a bit to achieve better results OR am I causing the problem AFTER shot and when I scan.
Honestly, there's no way to really be able to diagnose my problem as there are way too many variables.
So, maybe if you can approach this from generalities.
Many thanks,
Adam
