best way to expose sheet film for digi negs

[sanking]

Lenny,

I think this would be a better comparison if we were looking at a comparison the same scene, exposed twice, and then developed to different CI. Next time you are out in the field photographing you could just expose two negatives of the same scene, all else the same. Then back in the lab develop them to different CI. Then scan the two and make the best print possible.

Someone has just sent me a neg to scan, using the same film and & dev that I use to develop mine, that is a lower contrast (silver looking) neg. I can do a fairly good comparison of this in the next couple of days.

If you like, we can pass back some criteria, things to look at etc. - and within some reason get an answer... or at least some answer for the type of scanner I am using...

Hi

Lenny,

I did this with what I consider to be a hight brightness range scene some time last year. I took 4 sheets developed N and N+1 in D-76 neat and 1:1

Happy to publish my histograms overviews and histograms on my blog if that would be interesting to anyone.

Perhaps in future I could repeat with 6 sheets (doing - N + development)

My scanner is my densitometer and I've determined its 'depth' by using a stouffer wedge and documented that here.
