It seems to pop up around ~2001 with early still frame scanners and I figured it was a solved problem; however, it seems to be alive and kicking! One of the claims in the forum I quoted is that for smaller film gauges you need a higher resolution scan... but that doesn't make sense. A certain scanner sensor pixel count per mm^2 that is high enough to get past aliasing should be a constant figure based on ISO (ASA) and not the physical dimensions of the celluloid or gate framing. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For a given sensor, a 4K scan of 4-perf 35mm film is apples and oranges to a 4K scan of Super-8? In fact, with a fixed optical pathway, a 35mm size sensor will be 'windowed' to scan Super-8 and thus, with the same pixel density should render the same 'resolution'?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There again... does ISO scale with film gauge? I mean, is the emulsion the same between 35mm 200ISO and Super-8 200ISO? I always assumed 'yes' and think I remember folks mentioning it... but... idunno?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Perhaps I'm getting tangled up in different but intertwined issues.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Peace,</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Brandon</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></p><br>Sent from my iPhone</div></body></html>
