Nope. Helicon doesnt do the trick at high magnifications. By this I mean a full 72 megabyte 5400 dpi scan of a b&w negative. The image doubles...
I tried the demo of Helicon last night. Seems to handle the large files and 16 bit now. But it will take more testing to see if the output of...
I've been a long time photo.net user. More than 10 years now I think. This is my first post in some time. This problem that we are dealing with...
Wow, I've been on this forum since the late 90s. Didnt expect this much sarcasm or those kind of feedbacks. Makes me want to go back to the...
Superficial impressions:<br>Doesnt sounds like a Leica loud, and wind-y. Off/S/C button is too easy to bump. Shutter speed wheel feels plasticky...
Thanks for the work. I've experienced this also with my LTM lenses when mounted on my R-D1. Makes sense. I always thought it was something with my...

Elevators!<div>[ATTACH]</div>
My background is that I've been using a Leica V35 enlarger to print B&W prints from 35mm. I've used the nice Agfa RC papers as well as their...
I may sound like the obvious(and yes, I do own a V35) but the best auto focus is to never auto focus. By that I mean I would leave the focus and...
Collapsible is the best. Why? Because it collapses. That extra 1cm is sometimes all it takes to get the camera into a large pocket. And that means...
FWIW, I tried the Helicon software yesterday. It works well with smaller files. But with 2 larger files(30meg+) it bogged down. I used my laptop...
I've also taken a Gepe full frame anti-newton glass slide and cut out the little bit of plastic one side so I could "mount" the 1st and last...
Ronald, my negatives are flat. They've been under pressure for years. I've tried that method. The real problem in on the far edges of the 1st and...
The problem is registration *does change* since the distance from film to lens changes with the focus. In this example it's not as extreme, but...
The negative is TMY. It was scanned at 5400 and then resampled bicubic down to 1/3rd of its size...<div>[ATTACH]</div>
Problem 1:<br> My Minolta 5400(1st version) cannot keep both the center of the negative in focus as well as the edges. This is because that...
3 years later. Still got the lens. Still one of my favorites. It's the lens of choice on my R-D1 now and will be on the M8(assuming I get one).
It would be interesting if you got ahold of enough Nocts or Luxes to make a wider sample and look at variation from lens to lens. I havent seen...
I have a 35mm summaron with the older build style. It is nice and compact and solidily built. I even found one of the old hoods for it. Together...
