<p>D7200, 50mm AF-D 1.8 (around 70mm on FX body), and Raynox 250 filter.<br> So you think switching to a dedicated macro would work better?<br />I'm thinking of getting an AF-D or AIS old macro lens to save on cost since I'll only use it for this. What do you think?</p>

<p>Hey all,<br> I'm considering using a Raynox 250 filter on a 70mm lens to digitise 6x4.5 medium format.<br />Using this method: https://petapixel.com/2012/12/24/how-to-scan-your-film-using-a-digital-camera-and-macro-lens/<br> Would that be enough magnification to capture something close to 6000x4000pixel images of the negatives?<br> Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone, good advice, and I'll be looking to upgrade to a 4 blade as you suggested!</p>

<p>Sadly a new or decent secondhand bordered 2/4 blade easel costs more than this border-less one. <br> I like the look of border-less prints, they work well with my final display which is why I prefer to work that way.<br /><br /></p>

<p>Hi all,<br> I'm currently using a 2-blade easel, and it's driving me insane. The edges are always moving and it's just dying slowly.<br />So I thought I would look at borderless easels, which I much prefer.<br> I found the Beseler Masking Frame: http://www.firstcall-photographic.co.uk/beseler-masking-frame-enlarging-easel-up-to-8-x-10in/p3862<br> It's in my price range, but I do have one problem...it doesn't look like it could hold the paper flat in any way.<br />I'm currently using Ilford RC paper, which has a slight bow. I've used sticky back tape to hold them flat in the past but that's getting to be irritating.<br />Do you think that masking easel will hold the paper flat for me?</p>
