We have a web project at work that involves digitizing some 35mm slides. I have an Epson Perfection V600 Photo which could do the job, but I decided to snag a Pentax Bellows II and slide attachment off of eBay and hope to do the job with my K-3.
By my calculations, the K-3 should give the equivalent of a 3840 dpi scan. I've got an off-camera flash attachment, for illumination so I'm hoping that once I get the bellows and lens combo set up correctly that I won't have to move anything... just feed the slides in and out. The old Bellows II is an m42 but I've seen people using them with modern K-mount DSLRs, so I'm assuming it is possible. Those of you that have been down this road, any words of wisdom or "gotchas" to look out for? Or are there other advantages to using the scanner (like automatic dust removal, maybe?) that might convince me to feed the scanner instead of this setup? -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
