It does handle details in the dark pretty well: Original image is on 6x7 cm Velvia or Provia. This was shot using the Sony 90/2.8G Macro on a Sony A7rII. Modern CMOS cameras are doing a remarkably good job on duping scans, the main limitations are film flatness, DoF, diffraction and shielding surround light. Imacon next and other CCD scanners behind. The best way is probably to make drum scans. Let's just say that scanning slides is tricky. That said, I don't know about the Noritsu, but I own a dedicated film scanner and that had a DR around 3.2, so it could not handle Velvia correctly. That can be be pretty tough for a scanner. Slide film oftens has very wide density range, Velvia is around 4.0 which means 10000:1 in contrast.
Noritsu film scanner software#
The black coat obviously holds little detail, so the scan would ideally opt for keeping it black.īut, the software is probably intended to keep facial detail visible and thus blows out highlights. Is this a problem inherent to the Noritsu, or rather with the way the lab operates it? If the latter, can someone recommend a lab in the US that delivers better scans for roughly the same amount or a little more? The background bricks are blown out-there's no detail at all. I haven't touched the scan other than resizing it. See for example the background bricks in the attached photos.
Aside from occasional film flatness issues and framing/cropping mistakes, the transparencies exceed the scans in dynamic range. The lab is very affordable (about $15 per 120 roll developed and scanned), but the automated scans leave something to be desired. I've been sending my 120 film to a lab that scans with a Noritsu and sends compressed JPGs at 5902 x 4815, which I gather is standard for the machine.
