What scanner, is it a flatbed? The claimed resolution of those is generally found to be highly optimistic. At 2400 dpi it sounds old, later scanners have much higher claimed resolutions. A better result result might be achieved by photographing the negative on a light box using a macro lens. -

Thanks kmac. I sent the film off to a lab for development, so I'm assuming the dev is okay. Exposure — I used my Minolta Autometer IV to take an incident reading, though from experience that's not a 100% guarantee of correct exposure. I have a Kaiser LED panel — I have to say I don't use it to critically evaluate the negs before scanning though, I just tend to scan anything that looks like a reasonable composition (Which can lead to scanning dud images). I think you're right about old scanners — the maximum optical resolution of this one is apparently 2400 DPI. (I like the 'Soft' light from its fluorescent tube versus LED scanners , which look a bit harsh to me). As I said to John Seaman, above, I think I need to find out how to correct for scanner focusing errors. Cheers. -

Thanks John. I think you're probably right about the scanner — I need to figure out how to check / adjust its focus. I'll research that today. Cheers. -

Can your company not afford a professional photographer? -

Our company needs me to take product pictures for the first product. In addition to the front, body and detailed pictures, I also need to pay attention to the kit. Is it better to have a white background or a background with content? What are the possible requirements for camera parameters?
