Re: [Digital BW] Re: Scanning through dense negatives

2012-07-26 by J Vee

Bill,

Absolutely agree.   I use Colorgetter 2 Pro to scan chromes and negs to 11 X 14 in and nothing else comes close.  I have a number of other high end scanners (have a fine art printing business) that are so much more convenient and faster t though.  Only thing the drum scanner can't do is glass plates.  For this I use a BetterLight Super 8 in a process camera with the plate held in a cut out and mask on a light box.
