The photo on this page were taken with a Nikkor 24-120mm/f3.5-5.6 zoom at 24mm with Kodak Zoom Max 800 film exposed at EI 640. Exposure was by matrix metering. The two first images shown full frame scans of the same negative picture and differ in that the second one was dodged & burned in Photoshop. I did this in an attempt to illustrate that the film's large latitude makes it possible to retrieve a fair amount of detail from the shadows and highlights. The first image looks rather similar to the original machine print on Kodak Royal paper. The remaining images are segments of the first images which are intended to reveal the grain of the film. The "grain" images were all scanned direct from the negative on a Nikon LS30 scanner at 2700 dpi with Nikon's bundled software. No digital Dust & Scratch removal nor sharpening was performed on the "grain" images. The first two images, showing the full picture, were scanned with the Nikon LS30 with Vuescan software at 900 dpi and outputted to 48 bit TIF. Dust & Scratch removal was performed using Vuescan's "Clean" algorithm. Subsequently, colors were adjusted with PhotoShop's "Levels" and then the images were resized to web dimensions and sharpened with Photoshop.
