and got developed this afternoon: please see the larger version by clicking on the image too. i think its amazing. i scanned the nagative with this film scanner i got. i used to scan prints. prints are terrible compared with negative scans. seriously i am so surprised at the difference. it blows me away. photos that look terrible s priints are beautiful. its because they muck about with the levels |

nice pussy. it looks very high-quality to me. yikes! i just clicked full-size. yes, high-quality photo. |

thats even only 50% of the original scan. |

What kind of negative scanner do you have? I am thinking about getting one. |

its a canon fs4000us i recomend it very much. i just got it last week or so. it is slower then most of the newer ones (20mins for a strip of 4 exposures at full bit depth and resolution and dust removal). the dust/scratch removal is excellent, and as you can see from the samples in the reviews. it doesnt lower the quality at all, i think because it actually detects the dust using some infra red method. all my negatives are in great shape, and i just have been using a can of compressed air to get rid of the odd piece of dust before scanning. its only usb1.0 or scsi. no firewire/usb2.0 . im just using usb. the 42-bit color depth (14 per channel) if you are going to adjust the levels at all. i dont like the idea of adjusting much, but i figure im going through all my years of negatives i should collect as much data as possible. the files are 140mb photoshop files or around 110mb png files. both those formats retain all the data. i love it. i am pissed off at prints. one thing is that poorly taken/tricky photos are often heavily adjusted for the prints. so the unmodified neg scan might look worse then the prettied up print. but a good picture is amazingly more better from the negative scan. href="http://alibosworth.com/transfer/_print_neg_comparison this is a good example: comparison theyve adjusted the print to more of a sky blue, but you can see theyve changed it a lot. you can see how much they crop out for the prints too!! |

i got on this whole trip when i had a big 20 inch print made up for someone for a show in tokyo or something. the print is amazing. and although the original print was very nice, it was 100 times better in the big print. this was partly because of the clarity but also the cropping. so i decided that all my prints that i had scanned in the past sucked. and then i looked into the negative scanners. um i hope that the information is somewhat useful i think this is the best scanner out there (if your okay with a little slowness) unless you want to spend much more money. |

it looks nice but i realized that i want one for the sake of having one. i just bought a dslr camera and i don't have that much film that i'd scan anyways so i think i'll hold off for the time being at least. thanks for the info. |

hey apparently the hardware is the same as the higher end models. its only limited in the firmware for most of the features. theres a hack to make it mostly the same as the other EOSs or whatever they are. |

i am so non-techie that i hardly know what you're talking about. but i love my camera, it is really a nice one. plus the weather is starting to get warm enough for me to be outside for more than 5 minutes at a time so this summer should be a fun one for photos. |

I dont get it. What's supposed to be great here? The cat? The photo? The fact that it's a scanned negative? The fact that you are secure enough as a person to post such a huge file of a cat laying on a couch? |
