In the last post, I showed you images that resulted from scanning 4×5 TMax 100 negatives with a Nikon Z7 in this setup: The results were good enough for excellent 17×22 inch prints, but there was more in the negative than the camera could resolve, which we saw by loking at better-quality scans using the… [Read More]
