Hello everybody!
First of all, sorry for my English.
I'm a newbie converting 8mm films to digital. I've just bought a Somikon scanner and I've scanned my firsts 8mm and Super8 films. The result is not as good as I guessed. I've scanned with the highest quality but the footages have not a good definition. I know that this is a low range machine, but I am a little bit disappointed. The footages aren't well focus (the original are) and they are not well defined, with many pixels.
Could anyone tell me which is the main reason of this poor quality? I don't know if it is for the low quality of the lens, for the codec used or maybe because it is imposible to get a better resolution footage from a 8mm/Super8 film, or maybe o bit of all.
Thanks in advance for your help.
