Kris, that's a very clean result from the Neopan, good stone tone...

I used a yellow filter for these two:

I'm just begining a negative scanning project for my mother-in-law. She's given me her stack of old negatives dating back to the fifties, all shapes and sizes, 120, 620, 110, 35mm. The image below is one of my first scans. I don't know much about the shot - likely taken by my mother- or father-in-law, camera and lens unknown, the sleeve was dated 1953, it's kodak film, and its 120 format. I was impressed by the detail captured first by the film, then by the scanner.

Scanned @ 3200ppi and resized to meet PF requirements, otherwise, untouched.

It is a big job as scanning can be so slow but it will be worth it to bring old photos like this to life. K.

That is awesome, and so interesting... an how time in the kitchen has flown since the early 50s! Great project. I'm not sure you need to scan at 3200ppi - even 1200 gives plenty of resolution and a) goes faster b) takes up less hard drive

It has been a bit slow going, but I'm enjoying this (so far). My biggest challenge is cataloging them so I can easily match the negative with the file. I still have many negatives remaining. Unfortunately, there is a large group of 110, which I am currently unable to scan. That's a sub-project I'll save for later.

Jussi, yes, the kitchen transformation is amazing. I think the scene is what drove me to post this in the first place. Agree about the resolution, but I figured I would scan as high as I'm capable because I have the space (I don't download movies or music ), and I'm scanning while I'm reading PF or some other site(I can do limited multi-tasking).

I'm hoping to find a few other gems to share.

@hollywoodfred, I'd never dispute advice from Jussi, but I'm with you; scan at the highest res possible because you're probably only going to do this once (and storage is relatively cheap these days). I scanned my dad's slides and wish I had done them at higher res than I did.

Best to all,
Kevin

P. S. Meant to lead with how much I enjoyed the kitchen shot. I'll be looking forward to your subsequent posts.

Very nice photographs, Phil. I really like the Promenade and Nathan's shots.

[eddie1960]

great series Phil. the foma looks quite different when done as a reversal, works well.

Thanks guys! I was worried last year when Foma stopped producing Fomapan in 135. They changed their minds and it's now available again. The only issue is that since it's a true slide film you have to send it to Dr5 Chrome for processing or develop it yourself with the Foma chemicals.

I plan to self-develop my first two rolls of B&W this weekend - wish me luck!
