I, too, am scanning old film, in my case slides, to make use of my idol time. I just replaced my Minolta Scan Dual II with the very capable Minolta Scan Elite 5400 II. Right now mostly family shots. Seeing my brothers and sisters and parents and grandparents so young is interesting to say the least.

Your shot is very nice. At that size I don't notice any grain that I would consider offensive. My family shots are ho hum record shots mostly.

Subject: [LRflex] Scanning old negatives...

Back in 2002, Rose, her daughter, Jen, her then husband, Charlie, and I spent a month in Singapore, Malaysia & Thailand.

I am amusing myself, as we all stay indoors, thanks to the Covid-19 problem, by scanning some 45 rolls of 36 on my old, slow, but very good, Nikon IV Coolscan.

At the time, I shot Kodacolor Gold 100, which I foolishly had developed in Thailand, to avoid further X-ray exposure on the way home. I think temperatures were wrong, as the negatives are relatively grainy and many were cut by the tech in the middle of the picture!

I've also discovered that back then I was a horrid photographer, who should never have been trusted with a Leica R5.

Still, there are a few nice shots, and as we go along, I will post those that I think might appeal.

The first is a young girl, on the island of Koh Jum.

Enjoy!
