Hi,

Here is a link in which I added a few scans from Roll #1 (Portra 400).

Excellent results. I'm particularly surprised about the Portra 400. Maybe I'll try it as well. Generally I prefer to use Fujifilm as the first choice.

Yes, it is an excellent film if you shoot portrait.

Do you like your new scanner? At which resolution did you scan?

Yes, I do like it. For my first roll, the frames were scanned at 3600ppi. The scanner can go at 7200ppi but there seems no major gain of resolution with the latter (at least with Portra 400).

Maybe for the next roll, I will do more testing and do the 7200ppi > 3600ppi conversion.

Here is a full scan:

Cheers,

Max
