8/10 How does APS film compare with regular film? (quality and things
like that)
\_ Same emulsion. Smaller negative for same size print. You do math.
\_ http://www.photo.net/photo/aps
\_ APS is good for ordinary things like vacations photos, but not
for professional stuff. I like my APS camera, but I take ~ 4
photos a year.
\_ More expensive to buy & develop film, lots of kewl features
such as wide-angle shots, I think the negative strips don't
work with most (any?) photo negative scanners if that's what
you want to do. -John
\_ APS wide-angle shots are not real panorama shots. All the
camera does is to cover up the top and bottom portions of the
negative. You can achieve the same effect by taking a picture
with the APS "normal" format or a 35mm format, and then grab
a pair of scissors and cut away the top and bottom portions of
the print. About scanners, I have a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual
which lets me buy an APS adapter for ~$115 if I want. I think
some scannes have built-in APS capabilities. (BTW the driver
that comes with the Scan Dual sucks big time. I switched to a
3rd party driver and I got *much* better image quality.) -- yuen
\- APS was a sleazy money grab by Kodak. If you arent a serious
photographer and dont have a large investment in hardware, get
a digital camera. --psb |
