  1. Mamiya Sekor Z 110mm f/2.8 W Lens for RZ67 Also the 50mm. Thank you
  2. Thanks for the reasponses. I am now pretty informed that 1:1 isn’t necessary. Especially for my needs of proofing my frames and then sharing low res files online. If I want to enlarge a frame for a high quality print, I’ll wet print or send the neg. frame off to get drum scanned / printed by professionals with better equipment and experience. I did not have strobes on hand and didn’t want a fabricated box setup. So went with the Kaiser slimlite 5000k led light pad and a Kaiser copy stand. They haven’t arrived yet. I have found good 1:1 solutions from other lenses but the 60mm Fuji macro lens at 1:2 should be work great then. It will also be nice to add another lens to the kit that can do portraits.

  4. Hello, I would prefer to have a macro 1:1 setup to digitize 6x7 b/w and color negatives. I’ve read it isn’t necessary to go macro but optimal. Here’s what I have.. Setup: Fuji X-T2, XF 16mm f/1.4, XF 35mm f/2, 5000k LED lightbox, Copy table (30cm high), 6x7 negative carrier. Option 1: Use Fuji’s 11mm (MCEX-11) or 16mm (MCEX-16) extenders to achieve something close to a 1:1 magnification with the 16mm wide lens. (See attached chart.) I wanted to ask the community if would be fine. Using Fuji’s chart... the 16mm XF with the 11mm extender would give me something very close to 1:1. Working distance is only 1mm though. Is that fine?? It may require stiching or I can raise the camera up a little. Not sure. Option 2: Use a non Fuji lens. Cheaper but high quality would be ideal. I do not want to buy the new 80mm 1:1 macro lens for $1,100. An older manual focus lens with a mount adapter would be totally fine for me, I don’t need AF of course. Just IQ and an ideal magnification. Example: Zeiss Touit 50mm f2.8 macro lens for Fujifilm X mount cameras. Still a bit pricey used. Tim
