I've been photographing a lot in black and white lately so I decided to pop a roll of Ektar 100 into my Hasselblad instead.
Got to say that it remains my default choice of film when it comes to shooting landscape. Though not as vivid as slide film like the Fuji Velvia 50, the Ektar 100 is in a class of it's own when it comes to color negative.

I am majorly annoyed with Vuescan and Silverfast. Technically I should be annoyed with Kodak Ektar 100 too but the film is giving me way too psychedelic/awesome color I could ever hope for in a shot so it is spared from my wrath. The shot above you see is scanned using Vuescan. Now take a look at the one below, scanned with Silverfast.

So I got myself an Epson V700 from a fellow Clubsnapper at a very good price (620 instead of 900 first hand). It makes sense that I put in some effort to run some tests and justify the purchase.
The image above is scanned and enhanced using contrast, curves (exposure) and high pass filter (sharpening).
Read on to see how that fare against a typical SGD 13 lab scan from fotohub.
Just collected my roll of Ektar 100 film from fotohub. Very pleased with this long exposure shot of mine. Hasselblad 501 CM + 60mm f/3.5 CF T* with Kodak Ektar 100. If i did not remember wrongly, the exposure is 128 seconds at f/11. As for the rest... hmm... I'll upload them when I get home later tonight. Epson V700 is coming home.
