Philips PCS150 Enlarger (06)

Philips Medium Format Enlarger PCS 150.

 

Another route is to use Vuescan. This scanner program allows you to choose as source an image file instead of a scanner, very handy !

I used the same source (image 04 in this set), selected the crop area and clicked the button "scan".

 

The resulting image looks better, there is definetly more life in it.

Still a red shift but that would be easily corrected in a next shot of the negative.

 

Please don't look too much at the sharpness. I know that it is horrible !

Main goal was to see how the colors behaved.

 

My set-up was very amateuristic. Just remove the Enlarger lens, put the Nikon D40 on the easel and point it upwards. Autofocus was used, ISO set at 200 and Colorbalance at Tungsten (3000K).

 

A much better performance would be reached with one of the latest DSLR's with its super megapixels sensor and, very important, an excellent macro-lens.
