#Fuji sp 3000 scanner upgrade#
Its fully modular, so if I happen to own a new camera body this will upgrade my system as well as buying a new lens etc. What drove me into this direction was also the fact that I can start simple and cheap and improve my setup over time. So affordability can be one of the main factors to get started with this method. Go over to stores like KAMERASTORE in Finland, MPB or KEH to see what they have in stock. Even if you don't own a macro lens or a digital camera, prices for used equipment make the basic tools easily affordable. Sure you also need some special equipment to ensure a good quality of your scans but the basic equipment is often easily available. So you maybe already have the best equipment for scanning at home. Modern digital cameras surpass the image quality of the mentioned scanners as sensor quality and even lens quality improved dramatically. But over the last years or so a new method became more and more popular: camera scanning! Most labs do a brilliant job and deliver an outstanding quality mainly due to the fact that they own the best machines for this job like the Fuji Frontier SP3000 or a Noritsu HS-1800. Nevertheless a good lab can do this job for you if you manage to clearly communicate ideas and artistic vision. You can make choices that dramatically alter the scan like color and tonal correction. Home scanning with a dedicated film scanner or a flatbed scanners is a big challenge but if mastered correctly it can provide you the artistic freedom over the final image which a lab unfortunately cannot do, simply because they have to guess your interpretation of the negative. But here we are and I have new ideas and topics for upcoming blog posts which I want to share with all of you.įor those of you who follow this blog for a little while now, know that I have always been a big fan of various ways to scan negatives. What a year! Probably everyone had different plans for the last months and so did I.
