> you have to look at the whole imaging system Agree 100%. To match actual resolution of something like a PhaseOne 150mp sensor with 4x5 film, you need to be getting ~55lpm on film . Which is not difficult with decent lenses at workin

This is a discussion without many definitive answers. But there is at least one: the resolution of 4x5 film easily exceeds any commercially available digital sensor, with pretty much any halfway decent lens. Digital sensors also require col

Yes, negative film is very tolerant of overexposure in a predictable way. But I never shoot low-light scenes, and as far as I'm aware the inverse is true in circumstances where you're trying to extract as much as possible from l

For black text to be an issue, surely this is a sign that your screen is too bright?

It sounds like you haven't done a lot of film scanning besides perhaps an Epson.
74.
by chrstphrknwtn 4y ago
Because Epson scanners don't actually resolve the grain. Low resolution scans tend to exaggerate grain... which can make you think you're resolving the grain. Also, photos aren't only about resolution and sharpness. Colour an

You can do quite a bit better than Epson flatbed scanners.

The Royal Astronomical Society seems like a pretty good example of the opposite. The old logo was, well old, very forgettable and not particularly well constructed in the first place. The new logo presents the society as a modern scientific

I don't think these describe qualities of great photographs. What is an interesting place? Or the perfect moment? Or great light? These are all pretty subjective. What defines a 'great photo' is so subjective and loaded, that

The web can never be the "sum of all knowledge". It's simply impossible. It always irks me when people refer to the web as 'all human knowledge', because it's woefully incomplete if that is the goal.

Sure, but if at some point you actually need to know what the symbols mean at least the symbols will still be discernible and will have something to look up.
