no kidding, ex. and thanks for that link. very interesting. i set my epson 4490 at 2400 dpi.
i wonder if whoever buys kodak's patents will look into a home scanner with drummish capability ...

Excellent shoots Paul and superb scan! I also find above 2400 DPI useless to me I see only bigger files, but not better IQ on EPSON V500

Sad to know that all that extra detail on our neg film shots that most of us will never see. Sad

It is a simple adapter or do you need to surgically butcher the lens ?
Is it rangefinder coupled ?

Gunshot questions but it made me curious Smile

a cam is made from a brass tube and glued in place. it is rangefinder coupled perfectly with the kipon adapter in place.

Excellent colors and detail, Paul, really like the wood shots.

Looks like a successful combo to me, what film is this?

Shocked Shocked
Sounds fantastic!
Do you have a picture of that solution?
I have an old Novoflex MD to M39 adapter, but no coupling at all with the rangefinder, so I never used it with Fed or Mir.
