80 Megapixels of Sweetness
admin | Film Cameras21 Oct 2011
This is a simple movie focusing on the detail captured in a film scan. The scan’s “megapixel equivalent” is 80 Megapixels. The film was Kodak Tri-X, shot with a Hasselblad 500c. As I always say, there is nothing like film. Nothing!

i did a scan with a imacon scanner scanned at 3200 DPI result around 61 mpx. I do agree that film photography have a better feeling than digital i am now shooting my personal work only with film.
If someone want to see the result i did a screen flow video its the first video on my channel Enjoy
Bad ass!
@MrAdrpino For that picture I think I used my Nikon Coolscan 9000. Before I had the Nikon I was scanning with an Epson v750 Pro. And around the time I made that scan was about the time I got the Nikon. So I’m not sure which scanner I used. The Epson is a great scanner by the way. If you’re in the market, you should definitely consider it.
What scanner you used?
@themacdaddytj oh ok awesome
@gareler 1. Because I love that church. 2. Because I think shooting a gothic church allows you to see how much detail and definition a camera/lens/film captures than a landscape. You don’t find brick and architectural accents and edges in landscape photography. 3. Landscapes are so commonplace now that I find them boring and repetitive.
why would you take an 80 megapixel picture of a church? take a landscape pic or something
@stormbytes It’s cool, brother. I have no issue with zeal when it comes to film
lol okay then maybe i got a little overzealous! sorry I’m a hardcore film scanning buff!
@stormbytes This wasn’t meant to be a test to begin with actually. It was just a little video for those with little or no ‘exposure’ to film (pun intended) who might be curious about what a full resolution scan looks like. That’s all. Nothing earth shattering
This really isn’t very telling, I’m sorry to say. Tx400 is not a hi-res film, not by any means. Repeat your test with Adox CHS 25 Art 120 developed in some fine-grain soup and the scan will change your life forever
Im looking to by this camera also as my second camera but im wondering if we shoot in color film how do we do the white balance or do the lab do it for us got so much question can you help with this if you do send me an email to dgksoldier@hotmail.com
