I’m new to this group and as part of my intro I mentioned my digitising station set up. I thought I might share more about it here in case it’s of interest.
Like many I’m digitising my negs with DSLR. I’ve done this a lot and it has always worked well with my 100mm macro on a Canon DSLR body. Recently after discussions with a friend I decided to take multiple images of parts of the neg and stitch them together to create a very high res image. The first attempt went very well and I ended up with a 1.5m high image at 300dpi. The discussions continued and we felt that the aberrations, distortion, an CA in the 100mm would be repeated through the frame. So I started looking at large format process lenses so that there was only 1 layer of optical inaccuracies. I acquired a Fujinon 240mm A lens in good nick and with multi-coating. The DSLR is mounted on a sliding back adapter on my Sinar f with p rear standard. I use the rear standard to shift only the canon body. It’s early days yet and I found the cheap adapter actually shaded the sensor. So today I’ve managed to Dremel and file the adapter and it’s currently in the cellar having been repainted Matt black having already been tested and confirmed to clear the sensor. Tomorrow I’ll add some flocking then we will see what we can achieve.
