We could do a test ourselves, except the >D100 is a bit vieux chapeau now. My D200 wouldbe better, or a new D300 >better still. I intend to give this Adox a try, sometime soon. Got a few film bodies here, and I'll have to sort out which is the best resolving lens I have. Whatever one it is, it'll fall short of the film's capability. 800 l/mm.

The negatives I'm slowly scanning in at the moment all seem to be about < 100 l/mm. Very disappointed in the camera. A Konica upper range "P&S" bought back in 1980 IIRC. -- frag MicroPlanet Gravity Newsreader V2.9 http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/

It's not a dedicated slide scanner, so won't be as good as one. Epson V350 Photo -- frag MicroPlanet Gravity Newsreader V2.9 http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/

If I had a load of 35mm to scan I'd look seriously at a used Nikon Coolscan, or possibly one of the Plusteks but I'd find out for sure what users' experiences are with them and if the figures are real. http://www.plustek.com/product/series.asp?s_id=4 |
