Folks -
Thanks for your responses - I appreciate hearing from so many folks
who've looked at this issue from so many different angles. Next stop
for me is gonna be a trial of Silverfast with my Coolscan V.
I got no eyes here to start any kindof tedious digital-versus-film
fracas. I understand the great advantages of digital for so many
applications, especially rapidly changing situations. Actually, a
few weeks ago I was shooting a band for some web promo stuff and the
20D-with-flash&white balance options was just the ticket, as usual.
It's just that I felt kindof like I was shooting "still video" or
something.
The Kodachromes I've been looking at recently are just somehow
pushing some other buttons for me in a way that none of the digi-
stuff is reaching. Some combination of its saturation/warmth/grain
texture is looking pretty great to me at the moment. (And by the
way, Gary, it's true that I never got these kind of results before I
started using Leica glass with this film...) For all I know there's
some simulation program out there that would really nail this but I
haven't looked into those areas yet.
Also, a few weeks ago I had to make a 3 foot print from a K-200 frame
f(or which I got a $90 drum scan producing 300ppi at that
magnification.) Seeing the results (which I can't achieve with my
DSLR) made me feel that I was really seeing the full potential of the
original frame. (I suppose it could have been even better printed
directly from one of those "enlarger" thingies but I don't think I
could afford whoever can really deliver those kind of goods in the
analog/chemical realm.)
I'll report back if I see any improvements with the 3rd party
scanning programs.
