@skinnylatte I like 2 the best. Feels most like I’m there seeing it with my eyes, but maybe that’s not the point of every photo
-
@chad thanks! I like 1 and 2, 2 is something I feel I have more control over as I’m tweaking it a lot to look like what I remember so that’s my interpretation, but the Fuji is an interpretation of the machine I used to scan it

@skinnylatte Thanks for posting this! Out of curiosity, have you had much luck scanning negatives on a flatbed scanner? I recall that working at least as well as a dedidcated (home) film scanner for B&W work (mostly Polaroid 55) the last time I was scanning lots of negatives.
-
@mattblaze I don’t like flatbeds as much but may go that way soon for 4x5. I think they’re fine if you have good holders. I’ve had mostly crappy ones so far.

@skinnylatte My family business was a photo lab. The Fuji Fronteir was a workhorse - we had two of those machines.
The digital photo printer on the Frontier was also great.
I miss those days.
-
@skinnylatte I don't even want to know what a frontier costs, but I want it

@enot haha it’s like 200lbs
But yes out of the box jpg scans are very good and you can scan 8 rolls an hour
The magic Fuji Frontier SP-3000 — Sebastian Schlueter
A not really objective verdict On March 18th the article What’s With All the Poor Negative Film Reviews? by Brad Nichol´s was published on petaxpixel.com and I not only fully support his point of view, I would also like to use it as a starting point for an very personal tribute to a single piece of hardware that makes the hard task of scanning easier and let´s you learn how color negative film can look like.

@Champagne I love these machines. Try to use one whenever I can (I can rent them hourly)
-
@skinnylatte very cool, I wonder how it does with black and white.. I would love to develop some rolls and just feed them to a machine and get decent images without the need to process after. I also love printing with chemicals and paper but sometimes other people want their whole roll done and it's like "do you realize how much time that takes by hand?" Right now it's just an old eos t3 and a macro lens which works fine with an intrepid compact enlarger for the light source. But then I have to process still.
-
@enot it’s not so good with BW.. the Noritsu is better. Honestly CoolScans are still great for home workflows for color and bw and slides
-
@enot re printing unless asked for specifically, most people can’t tell the diff between digital and wet prints heh
-
@skinnylatte lol that's a good trick actually, just order prints from Walmart or something
