Finally, I've got my latest films developed and scanned. I disassembled my scanning rig in hope to get soon EFH (The Essential Film Holder #essential_film_holder), but it took 3 months to perform simple laser cut on plastics and ship it with Royal mail... What can I say? EFH is a good thing, but 3 months to wait is way too long. Too long. From the other hand, I still cannot use my copying stand with it because of not having enough hight. So, finally I assembled back my old good scanning rail and copied all 150 negatives 😅.

One thing makes me happy is that cheap #fomapan #fomapan100 film. I run out of my previous developer Fx-39 #fx39 and bought that new for me - HC-110 #hc110, a German-made replica of original Kodak developer. And other great thing was to shoot 100 film at ISO64 and develop at dilution 63:1. This gave me fantastic contrast and negative density I like so much. I bought bulk roll of fomapan 100, happy with it so far.

Hey #DuckDuckFedi
Ich brauche mal euren Input, werft mir alles zu, was euch einfällt.

Ich habe einen #Nikon #Coolscan III (LS-30) und ein Windows XP. Windows erkennt den Scanner (offizieller Treiber von der "CD", im Device Manager wird der angezeigt, der SCSI Controller wird als Generischer SCSI Controller angezeigt).

Der Scanner funktioniert in #VueScan (Trial) und scant da Bilder korrekt. NikonScan 3.1.2 erkennt den Scanner nicht, zeigt nur, dass er keinen Scanner finden kann.

Hat irgendwer eine Idee was ich probieren könnte? SCSI ID ist 6. Bringt VueScan seine eigenen Treiber mit?

I made a 16mm film scanner using Lego technic! 🎞️⚙️

The film is slowly pulled by a motor, passing the frames in front of a camera with a macro lens that I picked up at MPB for 60 euros. The rig itself sits on a glass plate from my fridge. It films constantly, capturing all the frames as a video. Then I asked Chat GPT to write me a Python script that selects the frames and only keeps those where the sprocket holes are perfectly aligned.

I share a turning point in my film journey: discovering flaws in lab scans — missing details, overexposed areas, and tones that didn’t reflect the negative.

Trusting your own interpretation is key in film photography

Unfortunately, due to some technical issues, this video is a bit shorter than I originally planned.
