Yeah not having your amazing film turned into an 8 bit CCD digishit picture by a film scanner.

You have never seen film grain. You do not know what it looks like. You’ve only seen digital noise and sharpening halos.

Scanning completely defeats the purpose of shooting film and transforms your $1000s in portra, ektar, ultramax, and e100 into lightroom presets slapped on a $75 nikon d200.

Getting a perfect photo w/ SOOC jpeg, beaming it to your phone w/ wifi/bluetooth and posting online.

>>4391866
A feat rarely achieved unless in black and white+jpeg S due to digitals gross inferiority to film and japans inability to catch cameras up with phones processing power and… basic QOL (worse screens than $100 phones, wut auto brightness, multi white balance is still black magic so film handles odd and mixed light better, unstable and convoluted phone integration mostly thanks to apple being faggots about USB mass storage and jeetdroid fragmentation)

Maybe in 2060 a grand total of 5 cameras will be slick and usable in HEIF and skip the phones with their own 5g radio and an overpriced shitty brand specific servicd. But you’ll shoot raw anyways for the noise reduction and manual moire removal, as they will still be using today’s sensors. And because of the brand specific service.

When you walk out of the darkroom with the first print of a new negative and see how nice it looks.

what is with the demoralizing faggots lately

>>4391880
>lab scans are an insult to the medium
>HELP IM DEMORALIZED
You better be with how much those putzes charge to turn a medium that outperforms most digital cameras into a 3000x2000 blown out joke

>>4391881
even high end dedicated scanners (ie: flextight) suck balls compared to what you can get in the darkroom or with a proper camera scan

im surprised some wanker hasnt started doing lab scans on a cheapo pentax with pixel shift yet

>>4391883
But why? Shouldn't an actual scanner be better than taking a picture of a picture? Unless scanner manufacturers are just making crappy stuff due to less competition

>>4391901
It depends on film type and format, but it doesn't really matter because film needs to be printed/projected at the end of the day.

>>4391871
>a feat rarely achieved
True, I cheat and after uploading to my iPhone hit auto in the Photos app. Always turn off saturation and vibrance though.
>unstable and convoluted phone integration
Wut lol, the other day I just plugged my Olympus E-410 in using a lightning to usb adapter and it just werked^tm. Even opened up the RAW in the Photos app and edited it. Too bad Apple Photos noise reduction is kinda ass.

>>4391901
Actual scanners were the better option a long time ago. They did all the inversion, had all the color profiles set up, were usually cheaper, and you did not get a macbook with a 2tb ssd and a copy of capture one/lr+nlp in the 2000s. Only a few turbo autists were stitching with their 8mp cameras to scan film.

You need to do your own prints . Otherwise there's no point in film photography

>>4391854
>film
>muh scans
(You) are a joke

>>4391901
Scanner tech is 20+ years old. That's 20+ year old digital imaging tech.

Of course using a modern digital camera with sharp macro glass will be better. No stitching even required.

>>4391854
Developing your negatives, see them drying before you, and to hear the compliments of your friends (when you give them prints)

>>4391855
show us your photographic prints, go on, be the better man

developing it yourself
>>4391855
what the fuck are you even doing that your camera scans have visible digital noise, scanning them handheld with auto ISO?
>>4391945
the nikon coolscan 8000/9000s have some of the best macro lenses ever made
https://www.closeuphotography.com/scanner-nikkor-ed-lens/2017/6/21/scanner-nikkor-ed-lens
>then just mount on camera & scan at pixel shift min ISO
honestly a good idea, I may do that eventually
for now I'm happy with my 9000

he's not a newfag but many no life boards like /jp/ or /a/ use that as a response to end an argument.
it's one of those being insufferable as possible types of argument enders.

>>4392244
prime example.

As much as i dislike fe2fucker i can at least admit he's a better photographer and more creative than me with this but larping this hard is sad

>>4392246
i think the statement warranted the response

>>4392247
larping as what exactly?

>>4392247
if he's a better photographer than you I'd hate to see your photos lol

>Is there a better feeling in photography?
Yes, going to the exhibition of your favorite photographer
Completing a project
Making a photobook dummy
Talking about photobooks/photo history with your friends
Finding a rare photobook for dirt cheap
Nailing a composition after 60 tries
Your project idea making sense with all of its problems solved
When a photo works because you're at the right place on the right time
When rain wash away the haze and light is heavenly
When a stranger ask you to take their photo
Getting sucked off by art hoe in the bathroom of the gallery in which your work in on display
Watching your enemies drowned in jealousy after looking at your work
Surpassing most boomers in your creative output and making them seethe

>I’m going to go pick up my film scans today from the camera store.
Congrats you're an ideal consoomer. Might as well change le film photography with funko pops.

>>4392716
You have never done any of this and just typed out everything you thought sounded like success, but its actually selling out and pretentious nonsense

>>4392719
>but its actually selling out and pretentious nonsense
Weird way to say that your art suck balls. If you're good and then you'll get publish. Try harder and stop projecting. Maybe buy few more rolls of films to cope like good little consoomer.

i know the people taping bananas to walls look successful but the success part was arranged before they were born or right after they turned 13
