Re: Scanning old negs

I still have my M42 bellows & slide copier which I use with a SuperTak 55/2. The set up gives about 85% coverage (70mm is needed for 100%). Once it is all set up it is simply a matter of changing the slides/negs. Mostly I sit on the veranda & point the rig at the sky for the light source.

This is a 28 image stack from the K1 with the D FA* 50/1.4 Each exposure was 30 seconds at f/7.1 There would have been a polarizing filter and a neutral density filter involved. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrphoto/wilson748.html Enjoy bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

PESO: Max

We've had Max for a year and a half. We aren't quite sure what he is other than a sweet little dog. We are told he is a Shepherd cross, and he has some behaviors of the breed, but he didn't get the looks. Anyway, this was shot on the K1 with the D FA 70-210 115mm, f/4.5 @1/500 second. I, of

RE: Scanning old negs

One option , albeit much slower, is to use a bellows setup with a slide/negative holder. I made one up many years ago, before I bought a proper scanner, and it worked well if you could find an even light source, and your lens had very even coverage. I still have an LPL700 enlarger sitting

We're not too badly off: we can still walk for exercise, including along the river shown in the pic below. Really nice at the start of our winter, with temperatures in the low 20's and 10 hours of sunshine! http://www.epraxisdata.com/178panoPNet.jpg John in Brisbane (PS this pic was posted

What an absolutely archetypal village, but unfortunately probably not now typical. That seems to me to be what England's way of life was all about once, and something I once experienced in a village in Shropshire. John in Brisbane -Original Message- From: PDML On Behalf Of Bob

Bob, as usual those are excellent photos (though I would have enjoyed the second one more if those hideous red and green structures in the background were rendered in B!). Here in Philadelphia, the transit is running on a Sunday schedule, with several bus, tram, and train lines shut

Re: Lockdown life

It's much the same here. We have to stay at home except for essential services but we can go for a walk for exercise - no more than two people and maintaining social distancing. Of course, over this Easter weekend, the self indulgent feel they still have a right to drive to their favourite

Scanning old negs

Since the lockdown looks as though it might go on for a long time yet I have been thinking of scanning some of my old negs and slides. I have a Nikon LS-1000 which I haven’t used for years because it’s just a balls-ache. I’d come to the conclusion that a camera plus copy stand and a light table

Thanks. We have a very different relationship between the people, the police and the state. There seems to be some cautious optimism that the lockdown here is working, but in places where people were being less than sensible they have closed things further, as shown in a couple of these
