Has anybody tried this adaptor on a canon d30 ? If so , did you get

any error messages ?

For three months , I have had the same problem you did . After a bad

experience with the scan dual ii ( I only use tri-X and hie ), I went

with the coolscan iv ed . A bit pricy at 895 , but it handles b+w

tones beautifully . I cannot even begin to imagine how good the

coolscan 4000 is !

Has anybody tried this combination ? If so any samples ? I am interested in it as a relatively cheap superwide only if the fisheye distortion is almost gone ( because of the 1.6 maginfication ).

thanks

You should load the film in complete dark , so do some dry runs with

exposed film first . Some lenses have an red infrared focusing mark ,

but from my experience , so long as you are shooting at infinity , it

really should not matter . Metering with a red filter is fine with a

ttl meter , if you use a handheld , compensate for the filter by

hand . Here's an example of an ir shot :

Hi

If you are doing b+w , I think you are better off processing film

by hand ( i.e., film tank ) . Add developer and shake for about ten

minutes , wash with water and then fix for about eight minutes and

dry .This is a lot more convenient and cheap than using a jobo drum .

Now if you are doing colour film , the jobo drum becomes a more

reasonable option . It is cumbersome , and even with the jobo lift

annoying to empty , yet it is accurate with temperature control and

with the right drum , can hold eight or more reels of 35mm film .

Just keep in mind that colour chemistry is relatively expensive and

and it goes bad rather quickly .
