[Leica] scanner software

[lug at steveunsworth.co.uk (Steve Unsworth)]

Richard, I have a Coolscan V (and before that a Coolscan III) and have
scanned lots of b&w over the last 5-6 years. 

I can't say I've ever noticed the problems that others have seen, but
perhaps that's because I'm not as fussy :-). Base any conclusions on the
prints rather than pixel peeping at the scans.

I use Vuescan by the way, have done for a long time. I don't have too many
tips other than setting the black and white points to something like .05 to
'stretch' the histogram.


Steve

Search this month's archive when Greg asks for scanner setting advice.

I have personally scanned hundred+ rolls (it's easy when you have a bulk 
film adapter) of Tri-X and some HP5 with Vuescan and a LS-4000. It took a 
while to find the right settings but seldom any problems now.

I am pretty sure Steve Unsworth has a 5000 and he has scanned even more B&W 
than I do.

Just say no to urban myth about scanning B&W on a Nikon scanner :-)
