Shooting colour negative?ĭespite the slightly lower resolution, the Frontier does have a certain magic about it, especially for wedding work. The Noritsu does have much more control of shadow, highlight, auto contrast and sharpening options too. This warm tint is only a click away in Lightroom from fixing, but it just saves a step! Both are capable of superb black and white results.
In difficult scenes where shadow detail needs to be lifted, we find that the Noritsu produces much nicer results.įor us though, the major determining factor of preferring the Noritsu for black and white scans comes down to the more neutral final image tone, compared to the slightly warmer Frontier result. This allows us to match your slides to the scans frame by frames. The Noritsu also lets us make edits after we have done your scan. The light sources on each of the scanners are different in intensity, and the Noritsu definitely manages to produce more accurate final results faster and more efficiently. The Frontier is sometimes capable of acceptable results with slide, but it does take a lot more work to get there and the scene must be relatively well lit to begin with. However, there are a few instances in which we feel the decision is a bit more objective.
Deciding which scanner to use is mostly personal preference, and we encourage you to have a roll done on both to see which suits you!
