Hello,
after searching the last two weeks about the Screen 1030AI`s ability scanning color negatives (in my case MF and 4x5), i`m now just more confused.
The general tenor is, that drum scanning color negatives is basically more difficult, then transparencies.
Particular for the screen 1030AI, the opinions are divided, in first place because of the 8bit, the scanner provides. Some say, that the point light, that is send through the medium, is full of intensity, that 8bit from a drum scanner can`t be compared with 8bit from a flatbed. Latter can`t recognize shades in that range, because it`s light source isn`t just as bright.
But apart of the technical aspects, how does it look on software site? Is it really so difficult to get satisfying results? I have often read, that the black and white point is very necessary. But what should i do, if I have photographed a completely bright scene, without any dark areas, respectively vice versa.
So dear screen 1030ai users, whats your opinion with scanning color negatives? Has anyone some scans to show up?
regards, Joseph
