Hi, Brian -
Yes, I have a light table and loupe and regularly examine my slides that
way, but the Kodachromes are still a challenge for me. They have a
distinct color balance that seems to look artificial scanned.
The info in the metadata is not correct for lens openings. All of these
are film images and there was no way to record the aperture. I think the
metadata always defaults to 1.0. The only time I used lenses wide open
normally was in the dark .
Thanks!
Tina
