#VUESCAN VS SILVERFAST ISO#
I chose Zone 1 simply because I wanted to make sure the density reading was still giving me 0.1 above the film base at the ISO rating I had calculated (ISO 125).Īfter developing the film it was time to scan them with the Epson V800 using Vuescan in 2 strips, one strip was Zone1 – 5 and the second strip was Zone 6 through to Zone 10. I started by creating a series of 10 exposures of a textured subject ranging from Zone 1 through to and including Zone 10. So far I have completed the test for just one film, developer and cameraĭeveloper: Kodak D-23 Replenished ( 7 1/2 Minutes ) 20°cĪfter finding the correct ISO rating and doing the developer time test for Zone VIII on Ilford MGV paper, I moved onto the digital side to see if any development adjustments needed to be made for my scanners which are an Epson V800 and Minolta DImage.Īccording to the information I have, the Epson should be able to handle a density of 2.2 (10.6) stops and the Minolta should be able to handle a density of 4.3 (14.3) stops so in theory, fine tuning the development time for darkroom paper should be a breeze for both scanners.
The process is slow but enjoyable which is a motivating factor in itself for me to keep going. I have finally got round to fixing the densitometer after waiting what seemed for ever to get a spare part so now I have started to conduct a series of film tests mainly to establish my own personal EI (ISO) rating for the film/camera and developer I use in all formats as well as film development times which will be suitable for both darkroom printing and also digital scanning.
