Soooo I actually ended up doing more research about which side of the film you should scan on and from what I’ve seen there’s not really that much a difference honestly, but usually people scan film with the emulsion side facing the camera. Went through too many forums of people going back and forth about it so I’m just going to keep doing what works best for me lol.
Yes, emulsion side up. It's the other side of the neg that's shiny! Another useful tip if you're scanning slides, which have much higher contrast than negs, is to auto-bracket the exposure, then in Lightroom combine the images to HDR, that way gives a far better reproduction.
@@jhex yes man pls! I will watch every video, fr i fell so much in love with your film photography, cant wait to see more content coming behind the scenes 🙌🏻
Just a question: why f/8-f/10? Have you experimented with other aperture settings? This lens - according to the data I’ve found - is sharpest at about f/4 - wouldn’t it be a better setting for scanning?
It has all to do with depth of field. You don't want to have any part of the film plane out of focus so shooting at a higher f-stop like 8-11 is ideal. Every lens is different tho
@@reeve7929 I just made a video about scanning as well and learned that its better to use the lens at its optimal f stop. The results are indeed better, but focusing is much more delicate. I will do another video where I use an enlarging lens for scanning, that should give more sharpness on the edges. Lets see how that turns out.

the turn out is soooo good !!!
Thank you bro!
Great video! Camera scanning is the new wave
Thank you film goat
I have a Epson v800 but for 35mm it's just not getting me the clarity I want so this looks like a good way forward cheers.
bruh i completely forgot to sub to my favorite film photographer. Sorry jordan, there you go! Awesome video!
Thank you! Going to be posting consistently on here from now on 😁
