Nikon ES-1 - any for medium format film?

Hi all, just wondering if there is something similar for a medium format sized film.

The other thing is the ES-1 with 35mm film is to be used with a 55mm lens, can this be used with any other lenses? I have a Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro it would be crazy to assume to use on this right, it is a 55mm filter thread. What about a Nikon 40mm DX or a Nikon 60mm AF?

Cheers.

The Nikon ES-1 is an older product and therefore its documentation only mentions the 55mm and 60mm (with the BR-5 ring) Micro-Nikkors. The DX 40mm Micro-Nikkor should also work as it has 52mm filter thread and goes down to 1:1. It is the DX equivalent of the 60mm.

I have not looked into the matter of copying 120 film, but should as I have loads of negatives and slides from my Pentax 67 days. Speaking of Pentax, they have a Film Duplicator that goes from 35mm to 6x9cm on 120/220 film, thus covering most formats. It is designed to use a flash as the lightsource and can be used with any brand of camera and a wide range of lenses. I suppose any bellows with the right accessories should work, as would a lightbox and a copy stand/tripod+patience.

I have not found anything like the ES-1 (or ES-2) for medium format film, and I have been actively looking for a couple of years. The ES-1 is poorly equipped to handle strip film (35 mm), which the ES-2 addresses using film holders. There are a couple of solutions for larger film sizes which may meet your needs.

There are adapters for different filter ring sizes. The ES-1 is 52mm. The ES-2 comes with adapters for 52mm and 62mm filter rings. Adapters from these to other sizes are readily available. There is enough adjustment range in the ES-1 or ES-2 for macro lenses 40-60 mm, even with a DX sensor.

I purchased a Novoflex Castel-Q focusing rail with a film holder attachment. This is a good fit for me since I use Arca-style quick release plates on all of my cameras and tripods. The film holder is about 3" square, and has a spring clip to hold film against the diffuser. There is plenty of extension, so I can use a 90mm or 105mm macro lens with ease. Since everything fastens together, you don't need a tripod, even for slow shutter speeds. I use an ordinary desk lamp with an daylight LED replacement bulb for a light source. Typical exposure is 1/4 to 1/25 second at f/8. It's not necessary to use flash, and with a continuous light source, you can use auto exposure to compensate for over and under exposed slides or film.

For the same money or less, you can also use a copy stand with a light table. It's not as portable, but easily adapted to any film size, camera and lens. It's much easier to use than a tripod, since the alignment is fixed and there aren't any tripod legs to get in the way or cast shadows.

Copies of negative film must be inverted. B&W is simple, but color negatives require some hand work. I set the camera for the WB of the light source. I process the negative image to remove the orange mask, using Levels in Photoshop to optimize the RGB channels, then invert (ctl-I) as the last stage. That gets you close, but further adjustments are always needed to balance the color. You can use adjustment layers to preserve adjustments for changes later.
