Thanks for the review. This will help me decide which R camera to purchase.

Thank you for comment! I can agree that the manual rangefinding with Bessa R3 is indeed fun.

Nice review. I have been researching these cameras for a while now and I think I am going to be going with the R3a to have he ability of aperture priority. I have been deciding between one of these and the Contax G2, but the manual rangefinder focusing just seems like to much fun to pass up!

Comment on Response from Silverfast by jaakko

Here is my response to the message. Let’s see what comes..

Dear (receiver),
Thank you for your response.

However, presently I am unable to scan with higher resolutions and I need the scans for my work. The expensive scanner and software are sitting as a paperweight.

Would there be any possibility of getting some kind of beta version of the drivers for latest Mac OSX so I could resume my work?

Best regards,
Jaakko

Oddly 7200dpi resolution is sometimes as good as original, sometimes not, but 3600dpi is never good. The scanning time varies randomly, sometimes taking unreasonably long time (20-30 minutes). I’m running reasonably fast computer, (Quad Core Mac Pro with 8 gigs of memory).

First of all, thank you for your kind reply, Mark. I am on OSX; and I am now contacting Plustek support for the latest OSX driver, indeed it might be the issue.

I’m also noticing strange “interlacing” looking effect in photos when viewed at 100%. This might also indicate a driver issue. I will keep updating my blog as the problem gets solved.

That is a strange issue. A couple things to try: If you are on OSX, contact Plustek support for your region and ask for the latest OSX driver framework.

Try scanning with VueScan and see if the issue still occurs. If the image looks good in VueScan, it means your HW is OK. Try a SilverFast software reset (accessed from the Service Dialog on the 1st SilverFast screen) and then scan at 3600 dpi and see what happens.

Don’t be afraid to use AutoCCR. It is pretty good in the latest version as long as you don’t include any of the black border around the image inside the red frame. If you do it will confuse AutoCCR into thinking there is too much black in the image.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you scan at 7200 dpi?
