hi anons im here once again to spam my autistic medium format plustek project. the motivation for it has been outlined pretty well in this thread
>coolscans are dinosaur tech sold at prices only an idiot could rationalize
>paying for lab scans is cucked
>dslr scanning is giga cucked
>i dont want to have to scan frames one by one
>no one should have to think about this as much as they do currently
a script on the computer runs the spool on the top, pulls the 120 roll through in small steps, scans at each step. you run the 120 roll through twice to get its top/bottom. once both runs are done panotools can do the merging
current hangup is I'm waiting on some aluminum scan trays and a c41 powder kit to arrive so i can dev a roll to scan
i concede that the plustek sensor setup is marginally lower end than the coolscans, although ive never seen any really objective tests for this
>plustek having lower effective resolution makes sense since the coolscan adaptively focuses onto the film grains while the plustek has a fixed focal plane
> plustek having lower color depth i have no idea. there is a kyle mcdougall video that supposedly compares the two scanners, but he never makes any objective measurements, he's just like "ehhh... yeah the nikon has better tones"
