Also realising the limitations of colorplus. Highlights in the land rover pic are blown miles out :(

they're not blown out, you've still got detail there.
bet if you have a nice scan done you will find there is enough tone to get sufficient highlight detail.

Would a fuji frontier be better than the noritsu option w filmdev? Dont have enough money to justify more than £4 for dev and scan atm :(

@Turkish What he said.
It is what it is, your subject is in shade whilst the top half of your photo is in direct sunlight.

Great car portraits.
Especially like the BMW.
Lovely colours.
They all make me a bit seasick though.

Yes.
Still, the latitude of ColorPlus might be a bit more narrow compared to, say, Portra 400.

difference would be very slight.
you are better off, every couple of months, renting an imacon flextight for an hour somewhere (£30 roughly) and scanning your recent favourite 20 images really nicely.

Because theyre not properly level? Something i struggle with on the tiny mju ii

Interesting. I have zero experience of scanning. How difficult would it be to get better scans than my current ones?

Yea..
I mean it's tricky when the roads are at an angle of course; either you keep the dominant vertical lines (of the buildings) parallel to the images boarders no matter how tilted the car / road is then, or you ignore this and just make it so the whole image looks "level" somehow.
I know it's tricky, and especially with small viewfinders.
I hardly ever get it right and fumble around in post oftentimes. It helps if you really zoom out / look at the image on your phone - it gets pretty obvious when the image is tilted when you look at it stamp-sized.

Like these by the way.
Nice and gritty.
Especially the train station one and the people looking at photos.
Keep up the good work!

Love that last silhouette!

Yeah brightons too hilly a lot of the time. Admittedly I didnt level any of these, probably should have

Ooooooooooooh lovely. Love 3.

Cheers! Having a tonne of fun with the 20mm FD I got off Ffordes recently.

The film was my last roll of Poundland Vista 200

using a better scanner, it's a piece of cake.
flextight is the best for ease of use / speed of use / quality combination

Yeah, seems to be - but I really have no comparison to other home scanners.

I guess the option of scanning into a 48-bit .dng is a good starting point if you just want a scan full of information. However, because I don't have PS, nor do I require ~400mb scans, I've not been scanning in RAW. I've just been scanning straight to jpg and editing within the app itself.

If you want I can scan a totally unedited 48-bit .dng at 7200dpi so you can have a play with the file in PS and see what you get?

48 bit, hi-res or and file-types aren't really concerns for me (I'm not really after huge enlargement). I am after max recorded infos though.

The manufacturer quoted dmax figures for these scanners is good but requires some type of (quite slow) multi-scan mode. In don't know if you've tried that option? Dynamic range is pretty poor without ... which makes me think slides are going to suck.

Ah, I misunderstood what you meant by max info. I’ll look into it and can scan some slide film soon.

Very nice!

The good old Vista!
