I must say too, that the square format is making it a fun new creative challenge too.its very different than the digital aspect ratio.but is fun to work with. Perhaps it is the difference in Medium Format DOF and looks, but I must same on some of my shots this early even, I'm just enamored with the images coming out, and it makes me want to shoot more and more!! I'm sure it is "new toy" bias, but I could swear, some of the images coming off the Hassy on 120 film, just almost seem "magical" to me, in terms of how things look, how they seem to "pop" off the image at you. OH well, but I'm learning and it IS getting easier and more natural. I'm working on that so much I sometimes forget to also check to make sure my shot is level.hahaha. A little buggy still it appears.ĪNYWAY.the Hassy.on man, I flat out LOVE it!! I"m still learning a lot on using a hand held light meter, trying to teach myself sunny 16 and variants.and the most difficult of all, with that view finder being backwards, when framing. I had to stop and start the app again and this time pre=scan shows the 3 new images. I did just run into a little glitch on SF.I had changed out the images on the scanner and tried pre-scan, but SF wasn't bringing in the new had 1 of the new ones but still showing 2 of the previous run. I do still have a LOT to learn about this whole process, but hey, I like to learn new things!! Goodness, THANK YOU for that reply and great information!! Crazy I know but even crazier I also shoot pinhole cameras too.It's all good for me. I started this way, own tons of Canon gear but nowadays shoot mainly Leica and MF ( Rolleis, Mamiya and Fuji ) analog. I've read a couple of your posts and it seems like your going to film for some of your work. For 99% of my work wet scans provided the best/most economical scans you can get at home. If a critical scan is needed I wet-scan, or if wanting the very best. With the options you have for at home scanning the very best is wet-mounting. This is a very expensive replacement for such a easily reproducible incident. In addition the anti-Newtonian glass is treated with acid to produce the surface and will scratch if you look at it sideways. I would avoid BetterScaning carriers as the anti-Newtonian glass is rather a hassle and the returns are minimal over the standard OEM film carriers. I develop, scan for less critical projects or image culling, and enlarge for print all at home. I currently run the V800 with Silverfast AI and it is superb IMHO. If you're not interested in editing your flow heavily then VueScan is perfectly fine. Of the two competing software I prefer Silverfast for more involved work flows. The work flawlessly on both platforms with good drivers. I have used VueScan, Silverfast AI, and Silverfast SE plus. Try a TWAIN scan program to find the best match. If you're using a new or newish mac your probably running into driver issues. the V600 was, I think was original to 2009 and very dated. Thinking about using the SF-210 autofeeder and I'm wondering if Vuescan even accompdates that and whether it can tell when there's a jam.The issue that your having with Silverfast is the outdated TWAIN driver. Silverfast has a pretty steep learning curve as well (so does Vuescan). One thing I recall is that Nikon Scan would let you see all of your pics on a color negative strip, whereas Vuescan and Silverfast only let you view one at a time. I thought it was pretty straightforward, but it has since gotten a bad rap compared to Vuescan. I remember Nikon Scan back in OS 9 when I used to use it with a LS-2000. If I want a B&W from a color slide I do the conversion in Photoshop Slides as well as different types of negative films including B&W, System and different profiles for different film types, but afterĮxtensive testing using ektachrome fujichrome and kodachrome I had an LS 5000 and now a 8000 and silverfast and of courseĮasy to use and excellent results.
