Technical explanations are aprecitaed - thanks :-)

Hi - yes. The intention is to camerascan instead of using scanners.

Epsons scanners and 8x10 is not a good combination in my experience. But now we are drifting off topic. So, when camera scanning various formats - full frame or medium format?

I have a ScanMate 11000 drum scanner and a Nikon CoolScan 8000. The drum scanner takes up a lot of room and is quite time consuming to use. I mainly use fine mode on the coolscan, so that is also time consuming. For small formats I sometimes just use my Canon 6D. My printer does A2 so I like to...

I was thinking maybe the Sigma 105 macro with the S1R. Cost is a consideration, but I will have to admit I have not really done a lot of calculating. I will print A2 at home, and maybe larger at labs. Out of the lenses I have looked at the mentioned Pentax appears to be solid.

This is a point that needs to be considered - if it becomes to much of a hassle/time consuming maybe one should just keep scanning with scanners.

Thanks - Yes, I am aware of the difference. However, my question remains the same though.

The Panasonic S1R is full frame and the Fuji GFX 100s is medium format. Medium format in the title refers to digital medium format cameras.

Hi all, I'm considering switching from scanners to digital cameras for scanning. So I was wondering if anyone has any experience in scanning with both full frame and medium format, and can say anything about potential benefits with medium format over full frame (or FF over MF). More...

@ADOX Fotoimpex - could you elaborate regarding your paper surface?

It was an really interesting read indeed - thanks a lot for that :-) Touring the West Coast with a bunch of drum-scanners sounds pretty cool B-)

They call it 'high gloss': https://www.fotoimpex.com/photopaper/colour-photopaper/

But high gloss - isnt that gloss with some extra gloss? That is a lot of gloss.

I am guessing the paper might be the cause. Its probably 6-7 years (if not more)... stored in so-so conditions. Why is the Adox paper high gloss? I like luster.

I do not know. The precipitate was only in the developer concentrate - brownish of color. Will do.
