Drum scanning is the finest quality, highest resolution method available to scan your transparencies and negative film. (商家名略去) delivers the best scans money can buy. Each drum scan is performed on a custom basis to retain your film"s delicate highlights, deep shadow details, smooth gradients, and excellent grain rendition. These scans are the best possible starting points for fine art prints.
Scans are available up to 8000dpi for all formats up to 8" x 10" film.
就是說這家可以提供到上至8000dpi, 幅面8x10的滾筒掃描服務。
NEGATIVE FILM AND TRANSPARENCY FILM
All scans are opened and checked for sharpness, and to remove any air bubbles. Negative film is converted to a positive state. No further post-scan cleanup or color/tonal corrections are included.
不過看到6.9億像素也沒啥好吃驚的。 不過如果 @Timothy Wang 用的普通平板掃描儀,其實這裡面一大部分像素是虛胖。
介於有人談到鏡頭解像力與掃描技術極限的問題。我覺得 @Timothy Wang 不妨讀一下我另外的回答(鏡頭解析度(解像力)參數應該怎麼看? - 砸場子的回答)。大畫幅在lw/ph的指標(總面積上的像素總數)上有著驚人的表現,但這並不表示在lp/mm(單位面積的像素密度)上能夠讓掃描儀吃不消。 Schneider Super Symmar HM 150mm f/5.6 對吧?手頭正好有數據,F16的時候解析度76對線,算80對線。正好可以套用下表,有問題可直接質疑作者,email地址有,不用來問我了,不是我做的測試。而且4x5底片的解析度不會更高,只有更低。
作者也提到了「Using the best lenses known to me, 140 lp/mm, the VR 100, 5080 ppi, native resolution is degraded by 42%, to 2970 ppi, after the film is exposed and processed.」
普通平板掃描儀解析度起碼能到4800dpi(即4800 dots per inch),即每英寸4800個點是很正常的(最高能到6400dpi)。所以4x5底片的理論值按照實際成像區域90x110mm計算,約3.5x4.3inch。
