....no, wait, no toy! That camera is serious!
Sunday I made my first two and a half rolls with it. 27 DIN 400 ASA Ilford XP2.
Sorry for the spots on "sensor"
Love that beast!
Here are a few first results, scanned on my Epson scanner.
Be kind, just learning to use that camera.

No, did not develop it at home. It is a color-based black and white (Ilford XP2) and needs the C-41 process.

Still waiting for a low ISO slide film to be ready to show. Worked a bit on develloping a kind of digitalising, that will give better results than with my flatbed Epson (which is already not bad). The gain in details is a real step forward.
Still experimenting, but found a way to get a 129 MP file from the 6x9cm negatives.
Use my Canon 5D II and Photoshop to stitch the single shots.
Think I am on a good way.
Here is a part of the 13788 x 9406 file. Don't forget that it is from a 27 DIN film. Unsharpened. And nothing is near to a perfect set-up.

How could you photograph a 6x9 slide with your canon?

Well, I made a set-up for testing, using all kind of parts I have on file, an Ihagee rail for bellows, part of a leitz close-up device, a self-made holder for the large negatives (making the slots into the two metal rails was a pita.....) Finally spoken, it enables me to shoot in one row (around 55-60 MP) or in two rows with 10 shots with my 5Dii of that negative, resulting in 129 MP after stitching in Photoshop.
Can't pay for an Imacon or Hasselblad scanner, so this is my low-price option to digitalize the negatives/slides at a better quality than with my Epson 2450. When having installed everything in an easy working device, I will add photos.

Excellent quality from that set-up. I may well have to investigate ways of getting good quality digital images from my medium format negs. I was thinking to try using a light box with my copystand and see what the quality is.

Superb camera isn't it! I could love that.
The 400 ASA film shows its grain a little too much for my taste but I'd never use any grain reduction.
Brilliant scanning!
Yes Kris, I still think in ASA too. _________________ Peter - Moderator |

Being a relatively newcomer to photography compared to the majority, I've only known ISO. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

It's easy, in fact it helps for precise light metering in professional situations.
1 DIN equals 1/3rd of stop - so to advance of one stop you need 3 DINs
15-18-21-24-27-etc
as "orientation" just keep in mind that 21 DIN = 100 ASA
if you want 200 Asa you add three DINS, so 21+3 =24
and so on
Some old equipments were subdivided in thirds of stop - actually even some of today, like ZM lenses for rangefinder,
are subdivided in thirds.
Most professional light meters also of today offer steps of thirds, since half stop can be too coarse for very precise applications
like in studio photography.
My gossen digital meter for instance offers steps in thirds of stop. _________________ Orio, Administrator
