okay so uh, I've been scanning rolls with my girlfriend's 60D and my nFD 50mm 1.4 handheld on top of the mount because I didn't have money for real scans. Now I do, and I brought them to this guy who has very good reputation, at least on his Facebook ratings, and has a Pakon F-150+. Thing is, they look like this. The guy has said it was, in order, my screen, my exposition, the fact that I pushed it, the (generally well-regarded) lab that developed it. But I'm not so sure: why do I have WAY less contrast with a simple 60D? Why can I recover detail that absolutely isn't there at all with high-grade scanner?
1. Canon 60D + handheld nFD 50mm 1.4 backlight by a laptop screen (hence the pixels; the plastic I put behind wasn't enough, I noticed later), raw developed with Neutral camera profile, exposure +2.10 (photo was taken too dark, hence the noise), Shadows +52, Sharpening +51, and no other changes
2. Pakon F-135+ full-res TIFF scan
3. Same scan developed in Lr: Contrast -100, Shadows +100, Blacks +100
