While putting together my kit for copying film, I did some research, and I have seen quite a few opinions suggesting that flatbed scanners are marginal, at best, for 35mm film - and that camera copying is capable of producing better results, if done right. But I have copied a fair bit of film - 35mm and some 6圆 - using my Fuji XT-1. I can't comment on using a Fuji GFX camera for that purpose, because I've never used a GFX. Ok, just thought I'd ask something a bit different. If so, please give me some feed back on your accessory gear your using to do this (lights, stands, etc) and your results. But I was just wondering if anyone else out there shot film and had tried to use the GFX system for scanning their film. I could just cut my megabits and use the 4x5 to scan it all.ĪNYWAY.I'm just starting to look into this. Since I shoot mostly panoramic MF film images, and even lately my 35mm is pano off a Russian swing lens camera, so their dedicated scanning accessories for those wouldn't work for me. I could get their basic 4x5 light, their Pro Riser MK2 stand that holds the camera, and their 4x5 holder for about $774. They are a bit pricey, but do seem to have quality gear. I've happened across a company named Negative Supply. So, with that in mind, I've been looking for a rig to set up to do this. I was thinking this might be enough to rival drum scans, or at least get close. I also thought that maybe if I had some very special images, I could set up and pixel shift shoot it and get a 400MP images. I could shoot this thing at 100MP and likely get images that would blow away my faithful old Epson scanner. I've been researching other methods, seeing people use their digital cameras set up to take pictures of the negatives.Īnd then it dawned on my. So far, I've been scanning negatives with my trusty old Epson Perfection V600 and getting decent quality scans. I mainly only shoot film that gives me aspect ratios, and possibly even fidelity on some levels, that I cannot get from digital FF or digital MF. I have plans in the future to get into maybe 4x5 photography. I also have shots from 6圆, 6x9, 6x12, etc. My favorite is a 6x17 panoramic view camera from Shin Hao. And of late, I've been shooting a good bit with them. Ok, over the past couple years, I've been collecting Medium Format (120 film) cameras.
