ANR glass or not???

TooManyShots · Dec 1, 2012

I have a Canon 9000f and shooting with a Mamiya c330f 6x6 format. The result so far is good.

Some samples here:

Wide open at f3.5 Sekor 65mm

This was at F8

This was at F4

Of course, I am interesting in using the ANR glass from Betterscans but the price is a bit steep for the glass and the holder for my scanner. Not sure if it would be a waste for me.

I can't say how much improvement you'll see with the Canon, but attaching to glass will give you better flatness. I can't fully tell from these scans if that is an issue for you, but you could check for yourself. The Epson on the other hand definitely needs the adjustability offered by the betterscanning holders.

If you are attaching the film directly to the glass, you will need ANR glass to avoid Newton's Rings, or you will need to wet mount, or you will need some ANR spray. For the Canon 9000f I'd just use the ANR glass.

I like the betterscanning system very much, but it isn't that cheap, since it is a low volume product.

Thanks..yeah, I am just thinking about getting the glass instead of with the holder.
