Love it!! 📸
That looks like a really nice solution. Thanks for sharing… 👍🏻
It's really great! Thanks for tuning in!
Great video Jahan! Ordered!! 😁
Thanks Bernard! I think you'll really like this workflow.
nice video very helpful what software do you recommend?
Thank you! I personally use Lightroom and Negative Lab Pro, but I hear excellent things about Capture One too .. essentially you can do the same things everywhere, it just boils down to what program you prefer working with :)
I notice you recently got a Leica M11. I’m wondering if that would work with the Valoi, with, perhaps a macro adaptor ring and a 50mm lens. Wondering if you’ve tried that?
That's a great question, i'm pretty sure with a macro adapter it should work just fine. Also it would depend on if you're using the Easy35 or the 360
How would you recommend using manual focus? Just punch in, focus on the grain and shoot?
Yes! Just like you would with an enlarger and a grain focuser. It helps if the camera has a magification setting for focusing :)
can you scan a single, cut 35mm negative? can you scan a cut negative strip 5 or 6 images long?
I haven't tried scanning a single 35mm frame, but I don't think that'd work. I think you'd need a film strip of around at least 3 or 4 frames
Have you experienced any vignetting with this setup? Im seeing people mentioning this with the Easy35, which is the only thing holding me back from buying it at this moment.
I've heard about vignetting and saw some examples of it, but I have checked my unit and it doesn't produce any vignette. I wouldn't worry too much about that though because the fix in Lightroom (or anything else) is really quite effective.
@@doyoudevelop Oh, nice! Maybe people get vignetting from the lens they use. I have the exact same lens as you do, and a Sony, so it will probably be fine. Thanks for the response.
Sure! Enjoy! @@laurencewhite4809
how do you set the white balance for BW negative scanning on the easy35?
It's in between the coldest and warmest light, so I just turn it to something in between -- like I said it doesn't have to be 100% perfect.
@@doyoudevelop and then wich Software do you use? I use NLP and im getting some white vigneting on some dark/underexposed/low key shots. But if there is a strong medium size white spot of light then it doesn't happens, so I don't think there is an issue with the easy35 but somehow with NLP, LR and the lens profile correction...
I use Lightroom and then NLP too -- it might help to use the vignetting tool in Lightroom to counteract the effect? The automatic lens correction can sometimes also be weird, sometimes it's best not to use it.@@seralegre
Taking a picture with the Easy360 is easy but the actual workflow of moving the scanned negatives to the computer and then using some software to convert to positive, white balance ets appears very time consuming. You have to post process it for each picture. Then there is an issue of dust removal that dedicated negative/slide scanners can do but this will not. I wonder if it is worth the effort comparing to the dedicated scanner.
I reckon what the Easy35 lacks in post processing speed is makes up with superior quality. If you have access to a decent digital camera, you will get better scans than with any flat bed or similar intermediate scanning system. Each person must figure out for themselves if it's worth their effort .. for me it certainy beats the terribly old and useless scanning softwares like silverfast, epson scan or vuescan.
@@doyoudevelop Thanks for your reply. I currently have the Fuji XE-1 which is many years old. I am in the market to get the new camera. I was thinking of the Fuji X-T5 which is a APSC. Do you think it is better to go with the full frame like the Nikon ZF or something like that?
That's still good! Full frame is obviously the best possible option, but really not a *must have* .. you can get really fine results with a cropped sensor. It also depends if you want to use the camera for other things too, or if it would just be a dedicated scanning camera.@@sfomann
@@doyoudevelop No I am intending to use the camera for regular use too and then whenever I need to scan my old slides and negatives, I can use the easy35. I am still not sure how much time it will require to remove dust artifacts and post process from the camera scans. I have thousands of color negatives and slides!
I would recommend using an anti-static cloth, gloves, perhaps even an ionising gun to remove the ability of the negatives to catch dust. Also with the dust gate of the Easy35 you ensure very few particles make it onto the scan.@@sfomann
