Canon canoscan 8800F review by Stockholmviews.com, page 9

 

120film scanned with the Canon 8800F film / flatbed scanner

tumbnail from 6x17 scan performed with Canon 8800F

Overview and crop positions of the 6x17 film scan from Fuji NSP 160 Pro reversal film.
The camera used at this moment was my D.I.Y 6x17 and a Caltar W-II 90mm F8 lens.
Scan performed with Canon 8800F and vuescan at 4800px/in, resulting in an insane file size
of 902Mb tif file, this file would if printed at 200dpi output a 398X127 cm large panorama.
A size that my computer and Photoshop had hard time to cope with and didn't manage
to save as jpg!!!??

I had to resize the image to 2400px/in to be able to re save the image as jpg, the resulting jpg file
came down to 25mb which is still allot and a print of 200x64 cm at 200dpi possible!
I tried to upload this file to Picasa but failed (Maximum file size 20mb) so I had to use a different
service for this file) if you like to download it just surf to [ this place ] file size 25mb

I was curious to see if there was any difference
between the 3 RGB channels when converting
to B&W so I decided to show you all 3 channels

The green channel seams to be the sharpest but
also the noisiest.
