USE ON 35mm FILM CAMERAS

I forgot what a pain it is to scan film.

Here are crops from 4800 DPI scans on my Minolta Multi Pro of the top left corner of Fuji Velvia 50.

Guide image to crops below.

ANALYSIS

These scans don't do the film justice. It's easy to see each vertical bar of the black fences on the light table.

I didn't learn anything on film tests different from what I learned on the digital tests. They all work great

The 1969 non-AI lens is a little less contrasty than the others at f/1.4, but just as good stopped down. It is a little cooler than the others. It's single coated in amber.

PLUG

I spent almost two months shooting and writing this comparison of 50mm lenses. No one pays me for this. If you find this as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me write more with a donation.

Thanks for reading!
