Anyone know if this is the right technique to use on 8/16 mm movie film (which is a positive instead of negative)? Modifying an old projector to go one frame at a time is the easy part, but you can't use the original halogen bulb since it will burn a hole right through the film at that speed.
- Finnucane 2y agoYeah, it would be interesting if this makes much of difference for slide film, either e-6 or Kodachrome (I am old and have both).
- tecleandor 2y agoIn the article they say that for positive film (slides, at least) white light is generally better than rgb, but it would be nice to test it.
- Finnucane 2y agoMissed that. I guess that makes sense, since those films are designed for projecting more than printing.
- smogcutter 2y agoThere are also rotoscoping and analysis projectors designed to hold on a frame.
- qingcharles 2y agoI scanned a lot of positives on an Epson V850 flatbed just fine. Except for the resolution and the setup being a bit finicky, there wasn't much between that and the $25K X5 scanner I had.
