Re: Don't buy a film scanner

I used Adobe Camera Raw to invert the DNG files from my sdQH. You can load at least 300 files at a time into ACR and invert them en masse by using the Curves tool (in points mode).

I am satisfied with the results from the sdQH on 35mm B&W negs. Examples I have seen posted by owners of the Sony A7r2 seem equally good.

I had previously copied my 35mm colour slides with an older Sony camera, and the colours seem to me to be better than I have had on a few tests with the sdQH. The Sony cameras have a built in HDR feature which is ideal for slide copying. However, the Sony 42 Megapixel cameras are much more expensive than the sdQH.
