Hi all,
Idk if I have placed this thread in the right place or not. But anyways...
I recently bought a film camera (Yashica FX-3 Super2000) and started to shoot my first roll of negative. I am feeling excited and have learnt a lot from this camera.
I appreciate how to simple photography is back in the old days. (I could shoot 360 digital photos with my A6000 in a single day but it is quite hard for me to finish up 36 frames in two weeks! ) I am also logging my settings for every frame and try to find a better way to understand the lightmeter sensitivity.
Though there 3 frames to go, I am looking for a lab to develop my negatives and let them digitize it for me. For one more thing in my mind, I am planning to set up my own film scanner with my A6000.
Few questions on film scanning has come up to my mind and I would like to seek your precious opinion:
1. I am going to shoot RAW with my A6000, Idk if there are any color bias (produced by the sensor/lens) that will affect the outcome.
2. I will keep my A6000 to ISO100, Sigma Lens to manual focus and the sharpest F-stop (say 5.6 to 8) and the correct exposure (EV+/-0). What would you suggest?
3. Different brands of negatives has their own "color setting", even the development will affect it. After digitizing, I will get a set of negative color RAWs which I need to process them with Photoshop/LR, will I lose the original color of the film during the process? How to rectify it and keep the film color as original as possible?
What will you say?
