w/nw "BlowUp" Reprise... this might be the "best resolution" my components can do...

[johnnycake_.1]

Leica M4 w/ Summicron 35/2 ASPH @ f/5.6 (or 8) on Ilford Pan F+ @ ISO 50 developed in D-76 1:1. The

first photo is a full-frame scan of the negative. The second photo is a crop of the people in the center

adjoining the brick building.

 

I would be interested the "best resolution" others might be willing to submit.<div></div>

[johnnycake_.1]

Here's the second photo.<div></div>

Say ! On the right - isn't that Freddie Feebley from Omaha ?

 

Hello Johnnycake. What scanner do you use ? And does it handle slides, by the way ?

 

Adrian.

[adrian bastin]

I'll play.

 

I have these handy from a few years ago and they are not brilliant but are the best detail I have got with a 50 of the window.

 

The scanner is cheap and the lens is a Summitar.<div></div>

The most interesting thing about this is that is shows D-76 1:1 is still one heck of a developer.

I'll throw a joker in the pack...M8, 90 'cron pre-APO @ f/5.6 +/-. Closest I can get in scale to

the original post with a person in it.

Joker has it, I think.

 

M8 examples should be handicapped by - say - a crop-factor.

 

Oh, I forgot, the M8 IS handicapped by a crop-factor.

[johnnycake_.1]

Adrian.

 

I inadvertently left the scanning information out. My image was scanned with my new

Nikon Coolscan 9000 at maximum resolution and fineness.

 

Martin.

 

That was taken with a Minox? What are the details? And how did you get the scan? I

never got good with my Minox.

 

Andy.

 

I'm impressed. Field of view of a 135mm, huh? I could live with it. The best "reason" that

I have seen to date to buy an M8.

[MTC Photography]

Johnnycake, yes, the picture was taken with Minox B, Agfa Copex Rapid film @EI 25, film developed in SPUR Developer: 1+9 dilution 9,5 mininutes, 20 degree C, Minox Tank.<P>

Enlarged with Minox enlarger to 8x10", scanned with flat bed scanner

at 300 dpi obtain 2400x3000 scan from a 8mm x 11 negative. <P>

 

The mail box occupied about 0.8mm across on film.<P>

 

With my CanoScan FS4000, I can only get a 1260 x1730 scan<P>

 

Perhaps I need to invest in a 9000dpi film scanner

[johnnycake_.1]

The dimension of portion of the negative used for the second photo, the crop, is 1.5x.9mm,

according to Photoshop.

 

The big advantages of the Nikon Coolscan 9000, and the reasons I bought it, is the ability to

scan two strips of 6 frames/35mm without having to "reload" and I can now scan 120 film in

its' various permutations. It does seem to be faster than my now deceased Polaroid

SprintScan 4000.

 

Is the crop factor of the M8 1.33 or 1.5? Which viewfinder frame "comes up" with a 90mm?

[johnnycake_.1]

[starbucks! but I didn't swallow!]

 

This might even more impressive: 0.52 x 0.52mm.

 

Of course, the capacity for incredible resolution on 35mm doesn't correlate with "timeless"

photographs.<div></div>

[furcafe]

You're right about technical resolution having nothing to do w/aesthetic quality.

 

Here's an old example from an old thread ( http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=003qxT ). 1st the full-frame:<div></div>

[furcafe]

Now the detail crop:<div></div>

[furcafe]

Technical info: Agfa APX 100 developed by local lab (probably in Ilfotec), 1/125th sec. @ f/5.6, 35/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH on an M2.

[skeeter]

a lot depends on the film, obviously (or lack thereof with the m8).

this was hp5 rated at 400, shot at 1/60, f 2.0 28mm 'cron. developed in ilford ddx. this was scanned on an epson flatbed.<div></div>

And here's the crop:<div></div>

Next, I switched to the 90mm A-A and pulled the tripod back until the Museum looked about the same width in the 90mm frame as the 75 had looked in its frame.<div></div>
