Filmcucks have no self esteem, they shoot outdated format, can't view photos while they shoot, go wash film in some sketchy chemicals that shorten thier lifes to in the end miss thier exposure and ruin the photo. Then then return home where big cocked digichad bangs thier wife while taking multiple photos and clips to share them immidiately on the internet. Filmcucks can't compete.

I scan with a Plustek 8100 thank you very much.
Any serious film photographer buys a dedicated scanner.

It has a CCD sensor so yes and no. Yes it's digital, but No because it's CCD and it's very film like.

You can easily make digital photos look like film with post processing.

Shooting film just to have the "film look" is falling of jewish propaganda

>>
>>4331057
Can you prove this?

Shoot 6x9 portra 400, put it up against a z8, z7ii, a7rv, whatever, let's see if your presets can cut it

Try using colored light instead of "white is WHITE!" color grading, I find digital fails the hardest when light has a color other than the white balance value.
>>
Digital is literally more real than film, if you shoot film to get away from realism you should just do painting instead. But you won't do that because you're all talentless and are using film to compensate.
>>
>>4331060
>Shoot 6x9 portra 400
Can't. I'm not a faggot
>>
>>4331065
Then literally fucking anything except nerdwank like cms 20 (bro everyone shoots iso 10)

>>4331064
Neither is real. At all. Digital is not even close. My eye's CFA is 2000x better and essentially has a pixel shifted video feed with a curved sensor, 30 stop DR and multi-WB with a panoramic FOV. Painting is actually what you get into for sheer realism as well as more expressive liberty because photography is inherently limited by technology.
>>
>>4330808
Ok one question for ya: What exactly is wrong with doing this?
>>
>>4330924

I love it. Over time you master your workflow so no dust or finger prints on the film. If you shoot 35mm film it’s an amazing scanner.
>>
>>4330819
Kys digitranny
>>
>>4331115

Ie don’t put on your hoody while scanning or vacuum your room 10 minutes before etc, you just need to think what makes dust and avoid it for 30 minutes or whatever around scanning. Also negatives goes instantly from plastic sleeve to scanner and I always get my negatives cut and put in plastic sleeves.
As a last resort I have a cleaning cloth I can wipe the negative with if I ever saw dust and I hold up to a light when it’s in the scanning holder first to check no dust.

Also you master how to hold the edges at all times so never get a fingerprint.

It’s not bad once you master the workflow.
>>
>>4331113
It's placebo film.

You're getting all the downsides of digital CCD sensors in scanners or tech limitations of cameras an lenses used to scan.

You think you're shooting film but you're closer to digicam image quality with a big markup and rose tinted glasses.
>>
>>4331140
And it still looks better than digital does, on a digital screen. What a fucking mogging lol.
>>
>>4331140
>You're getting all the downsides of digital CCD sensors in scanners or tech limitations of cameras an lenses used to scan.

This sounds like ultra cope. Do you invent weird head canon about film users in your spare time as well?
>>
>>4330808
The whole "digital looks too perfect" is exactly why a DSLR or mirrorless camera is perfect for scanning film.
It will pick up the imperfections film shooters appreciate without adding any of its own imperfections. The only real world difference to a flatbed scanner is that it can be done cheaper, and the process is faster.

No, that's not actually how it works

Film captures luminance values. Scanning film is just taking photos of translucent sand glued to a sheet of plastic.

It's better than film and Foveon.

QRD on this album?

Incorrect.

>>4331113
Absolutely nothing. Current digital cameras can easily outresolve 6x7 film. Buy into 100mp macro four thirds and pixel shift outresolves all but the most useless measurebator B&W stock (singular). They have a wider color gamut and more dynamic range. But you're not capturing scene brightness values with a scan, you're just looking at the film which already compressed ~14 stops of DR into about 8 stops.

Metaphysics schizos can make up anything they want but the end result will be the same as any other process.
>>
>>4335126
> Buy into 100mp macro four thirds and pixel shift outresolves all but the most useless measurebator B&W stock (singular)
... in 4x5.

And 8x10, if you want to stitch. You'd shoot so few frames stitching is still easier than drum scanning.
>>
>>4335129
An em5ii in pixel shift outresolves 6x7 velvia 50. Not a high bar. Thats a cheap ass camera too. Its no wonder alex burke has one like it. Must be nice for the frames that arent worth a real analog scanner’s runtime. Analog wet scans are always gonna beat camera scans and both will beat the vast majority of enlargers. A pure analog process is for fun only. Its a hobby. Like carving things by hand instead of using a CNC machine.

you could even stitch 4 em5ii/zf pixel shift shots for 4x5 and outdo a gfx
>>

>>

6x7 velvia 50 is outresolved and out-DR’d by a canon 5ds.

>inb4 data sheets and surely grain density is megapixels
not how films detail recording actually works. especially not if you refuse to acknowledge an unidentifiable squiggly dotted line of grains hidden between blades of grass as a detail. you’re just coping until you’re shooting 4x5.
>>
>>4335288
Lolwut

People have been doing this exact test to see if digital was good enough for ages. It only takes ~45mp to outdo the detail resolution of 6x7 film in a real photo (not a test chart shot with flash at a lower ISO than box speed). Bayer can fuck up in subject dependent ways, but on the other hand film dissolves into a void if light is just a little sparse, so it evens out. With the sole exception of grain peeping certain slow black and white films.
>>
The digital folks are so hung up on technical performance that they can't see the forest thru the trees!

>>4335429
Literally this.
>>
>>4335429
Vague statement = no statement. You are talking about something that only vaguely exists in your “mind” (i am not gonna assume you even have one)

You lost. There is nothing wrong with shooting film to scan it. It still looks like film. There is no performance loss. There is no aesthetic loss.

There is no reason not to scan film. That’s it. None. If you think you have one it’s schizo shit. Plain and simple. The very premise of this thread has been ripped apart and flushed down the toilet. Every last squabble anyone had with scanning film’s been flushed.

Go on, hit us with the schizo shit. Lets see what kind of pseudo spiritual magic nonsense you can come up with to make scanning film “invalid”. So we can laugh. We dont want to see your photos we already know they suck.
>>
>>4335429
no one said film was worse or better because digital has better technical metrics
anyone who would ever say something like that is a soulless bugman and coping about something
they said digital being technically better makes it perfect for making copies of negatives

digital is technically better just means digital can be used to make a perfect copy of a piece of film without losing any information from the original.

whats the forest? ill tell you what the forest is

quality is not the forest because it depends on display size and viewing distance

Just think of them as pot addicts. Sure, you can smoke pot without ill effects. 0.2g bowl in the evening on a weekend, big deal. Then you have the addicts. It's a psychological addiction, not a physical dependency, so it builds up some complex copes backing it up most of which give them an excuse to continue being an addict and to feel superior to non-addicts. But because they are copes spontaneously created to feed the addiction they end up being total BS.
>inb4 film isn't a drug!
Actually, buying shit IS addictive. This is a fact of human psychology few people are introspective or educated enough to be aware of it so very few people resist it. A co-opting of ancient hunter gatherer instincts. Buying film is a hit. Paying for chems is a hit.
https://www.psychguides.com/behavioral-disorders/shopping-addiction/
A lot of "hobbies" are actually forms of shopping addiction that we turn a blind eye too because they appear to generate things other than money lost to acquiring junk, but with film it hits a bit different because you can take infinite photos for free otherwise.
>>
>>4335489
hoarding/collecting is also addictive and easily destructive behavior that appeals to the base elements of the human psyche

film incorporates it heavily. just ask about freezers and gear shelves.

digital photography does something to disappoint a shopaholic. it is... good enough. forever. a 5d classic still mogs phones. do you need more? maybe if it has to be compact or you don't want to put shit for effort in... or you're a shopaholic.
