I know I am very late to this crazy little party but shift is shift - shifting the focal plane up down left or right - but you are also correct, rise and fall is more accurate - carry on everyone

looool

I consider the Fuji GFX path for myself, wihtout having one yet. One question: Listening to you video, I hear the mechanical shutter in use. Have you tried just using the electronic shutter only? And if, is there any difference? Background: Considering to scan e.g 5000 negatives, the shutter count would be already 16x5,000 = 80,000 what is a significant portion of shutter life time. Plus the mechanical shutter produces vibrations which may cause your reported errors.

Great video, thank you for this service. I think I’d prefer to crop my 6cm photos to panoramic sizes than to track down this kit.

I think if the egg was a "bit" more done, it would of flipped fine..... But holy frying pan Pan Man, for the price, you HAD to buy it & bring it back to life....& It's found a great home where it will always be loved......Well done....I subscribed...

Love the polka music.

So much wasted time trying to be a two bit comedian. You’re not funny. Condense and get to the important info.

Way too much time wasted on irrelevant comments, trying to be funny. Just get to the core of the process.

Just wanted you to know I'm back again, I specifically searched for this video before bed.

Go pro is hard on the eyes. Fast forward everytime.

Some nice images and s lot of useful info but, please, dial back the hyperactive presentation a little. It gets tiring.

And for the unloading, how do you do ? Show us ....

Dude your hilarious, if im ever in duluth again please, I will buy you a drink!!!

Brooo that was the Arch of Constantine in Rome!

There are too many variables to list here as to why your drum scan to DSLR test came out seemingly equivocal. I remember a drum scanner operator telling me it took him about 2 years to get a good drum scan after he first started; and, that he regretted that because he basically had to rescan his own work from those first 2 years after he gained competence. I'm glad that folks are finding ways to be happy with digital camera photos of their film negatives. People have been doing DSLR "scans" if you will since about 2001 that I'm aware of. Despite this, photo labs serving high end photography (commercial and art) in NY and LA at least, don't seem to be able to retire their drum scanners. Don't give up on your drum scanner yet, you'll regret it once you finally gain the scanning skill, and train your eyes to see at that level. If at that point your drum scans still look like DSLR scans, I'd suggest getting the scanner serviced. If however you are happy with your dslr scans, I'd say, great, don't waste time chasing after fidelity that is not relevant for your type of work and keep dslr scanning, it will afford you tons more time for shooting and post production.

Love the pasty look, weird music, etc. Tip: for BW shoot in color, covert to BW later because you can use the RGB channels, even if they are off, to create a better BW than you could otherwise. For instance skies are blue but render nearly as bright as clouds in BW, but you can selectively darken the blue, thus the sky, if you have a blue channel to work with.

please do this cool comparison with color film as well :)

Hopefully no one tried to melt lead in it 80 years ago

i love this video.

I hate you because you have a GFX and a Drum Scanner. Yeah, that is on me, but ahhhh. Well, good for you I guess.

Was looking for this after the Winsiege Hosen - Dreadnoughts concert in deluth, danke for posting this

Looks like I need to buy a GFX lol

The selfie on the left did look sharper. Super cool upload though. Really cool

Amazing story!!

love this channel

A little OTT, IMO.

Nice video

Wo there was the cable release... 🙂

The dating skit is hilarious. Enlarging the Mavica photo to 300dpi nearly made me cough up a lung with laughter.

I don't think you will see the difference in any reasonably sized print, but the Drum scanner can not be suprpassed. The pixel shift malarky is primarily to compensate for the lost detail in the gap between the pixel sites. Ordinarily the software within the camera has to guess what that lost detail could have been and then try and interpolate it. So the digital image we get from our digital devices is not exactly a true epresentation of the scene we think we photographed. Pixel shift overcomes this to some extent and make you a very large file in the process. The drumscanner uses Photonmultiplier tubes to make an anlogue elecrtrical signal and then this ois fed to an ADC to make it something the computer understands, very much like a digital camera in fact. The difference is that the output of the Drumscanner is not interpolated so it is much superior in quality to a typical digital camera image. Persoanlly, as far as 4X5, 5X7 and 8X10 negatives are concerned there is nothing to touch an Epson flatbed scanner. Once the focus height is detemined, it can actually produce very good results with LF negatives. Try using your method with an 8X10 neg or transparency. You will probably get better ' scans ' from a digital device than a flatbed if using transparency, and in the good old times and in particular with Kodachrome slides.

I’m guessing that the drum scanner has a maximum resolution of 12K DPI? It also depends on the film-speed of the negative. The lower the ISO, the higher the resolution in film. If you are shooting with a 20 ISO film stock, the camera may not be able to resolve all the detail in the film. Whereas, a 12K dpi scanner can resolve all the detail that the camera can’t see. It would be an interesting test to say the least.

Very cool and informative. Not sure if all the extra time you took for the jokes and call outs really helps a lot. Kind of makes me a little dizzy. YMMV

Hilarious presentation. Well done.

one problem with old drum scanners is that they were designed with computers with the time, so that the larger the negatives the max scan res goes down and the smaller the bigger ect since hard drives were very very small, still a heidelberg is way better than an everyday flatbed

You are crazy and I love that.

I nearly died choking on a piece of popcorn while watching that crucifixion story. Worth it.

This was so well put out, subscribed....

Amazing! After a couple decades KZbin actually found me a video that is exactly what I was looking for. I even have the exact same skillet. Don’t worry KZbin I won’t ever expect this to happen again. just one of the many reasons you suck. 🍊 Man Bad 2024 he is coming….

Fabulous! Thanks.

Love your sense of humor and found the comparison really interesting. May have been the increased contrast playing tricks on me, but I found the right self portrait a tiny bit sharper. Getting colors right with digital camera scans has always been a pain for me. Even with a high CRI light source and various inverting software has always been hit or miss. Sometimes it's great and sometimes I just can't get the colors quite right.

I’m just amazed by how much information is in the 35mm.

love the dramatic reaction 😅

But seriously why not electrolysis clean it ,and recure it?

This feels like it should be interspersed with smash cuts of Vietnam war footage. Kipper has seen some shit. Kipper does NOT talk about the boat launch...

I’m the 621st view. This shit is gonna blow up huge.

haha, thank you !

this was like going on an LSD trip..suscribed!
