Film dudes, and dudettes...
I've been going back to film... and I have a few questions about what other film shooters are doing to get to digital.
Obviously processing and scanning to CD services are still with us, as is the expensive part, printing...
I'm inclined to have the film processed and scanned directly to a CD by the processors... Here's the problem.. They all seem to use what I would consider a low resolution JPG as their standard... I'm guessing the reason is speed... I asked two processors what resolution their scanning system is, and got the deer-in-the-headlights looks... It's fairly obvious from their CD's file size, that the images are cursory, and not intended to meet any definition of quality...
My next step is a Nikon ES-1 slide copying adaptor, which creates images at the full resolution of my camera (a D600)...
If you're currently shooting film, which film are you shooting, and what is your workflow to get from the film to a digital image. Or do you NOT goto digital, and just order prints??????
Thank you for your input...
