Hi all. I've just made the adaptor that makes my AutoBellows A appear to be an f1.0 A lens set to A when attached to my *istD.
After about 2 minutes setting it all up with an AF360 connected via an off camera cable and adjusting the focus, it took me about 3 minutes to scan 34 slides at 6.1 megapixel RAW format. It then took about 10 minutes to download those from the camera to the computer, but I'll soon have a way around that. What's even better is that I can zoom in on a small section of the slide and still get full resolution. The AF360 and P-TTL gives near perfect exposure from slides out by upto about 1.5 stops either way. Beyond that you start running into limits of what is on the film (though one slide which is about 3 stops under came up quite good with a touch of Photoshop). By the way, am I the only person on this list who attaches bellows to modern autofocus cameras? Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
