Digital cameras feel most attractive when there’s a stack of films waiting for scanning. 今日に I scanned indexes for one film, and there’s at least three more films from 2003 still unscanned. I scan indexes for every frame at 705dpi (resulting in about 960×640 pixel images), and then I pick the best shots and scan them at full 2820dpi. All in all, there’s maybe 18 rollfulls to check and scan. I’m hoping to do some serious updating in my photo galleries with the results of that fatiguing marathon.
The only thing that is keeping me from switching to digital SLR is the focal length multiplier. With EOS 10D’s 1.6x multiplier a 15mm lens is required to get an angle of view equivalent to 24mm lens in film camera! Canon 16-35mm/f2.8L could be close enough, but it’s a huge barrel compared to 24mm/f2.8. A 1.2x multiplier would be bearable – a 20mm lens would do the job. Thumbs up..
