Just have to put my little 2 cents in about this whole Retro Scan system. Long time user of Retro Scans from the Sniper all the way up to the RetroScan Universal MK I with the LightPin upgrades. Have been very attracted to the Kinograph community due to their tenacity, humbleness and ability to produce a high-quality project that will give quality to the masses at a fraction of the cost. Now on with the constructive criticism as I believe no one should be immune to this. The claim that the 2K is closer to 3K? Couldn’t find that post and would like to give it a read as that seems counterintuitive and a stretch. Now I do not use the RetroScan software because I find it limiting in many regards especially cropping and gain/sharpening control. I use the SDK from Pointgrey Flycap, also @friolator, I completely agree with you the 2K cameras are “chameleon 3” with a resolution of 2048 × 1536 on a 1/8” sensor, yes TINY. Close to 3K? not without some sort of “gentle” upscaling. As we all know upscaling is the last thing we want. In addition, a 1/8” sensor with a resolution of 2048 × 1536, cannot hold a flame to a 1” sensor with 2048 × 1536 resolution. Yes, it is amazing that there is development in the region of film scanning there is no doubt and I have appreciated the advancement in sophisticated transport and sprocket detection. Although, the MKII has a hefty price tag for what you get, and a lot of what you do not need (Z-axis Zoom seems like focusing could become an issue and another hardware component to fail to leave you dead in the water until fixed, I am sure they are built like tanks Roger, Chinese made tanks), It seems some of the ideas for this are a revamp of the Muller FilmFabriek scanner in terms of sprocket detection, and not to mention how old that system is. And how NEW the MKII is. And yes @ToddRuel Roger’s market is mom and pop shops making DVDs which we fortunately (or unfortunately) will see the end of. But the creation of this device boasts that there is a new market trying to be tapped into and the standard for that market is quite high by design. It should be able to stand the test of that standard to remain a great cost effective alternative if that is the route you wish to take. Entering into 35mm comes with a great deal of responsibility and quality to match it. Especially when you can get a Davinci Cintel for not much more money and the amazing support, features and community (cough actually a forum for users to post too and discuss, rather than a FB group). Also, when was this advertised to be available? September? I feel for those that have waited on this timeline as they just got shipped out this last week it appears.
