Ok thanks guys!

Thanks tom.

First one shot at 2.4 , second one at 5.6 on trpod both

hi there. I just got a pentax 67 with a 105 mm 2.4 version lll. Ive been taking 3 rolls of film and gottrn maybe 4 sharp images all taken close portrait from breast and up. But but..im more interested in shooting full body but when i fo that.. regardless of any aparture its not getting sharp at all. I aim for the face at sparture 2.4, 4, 5.6, 8 and non is in focus. I even use tripod. Only when i move up close i can get sharp images at 2.4 and so on. I use portra 160. As soon i move further away to get fullbody they becom unsharp/ out of focus. What the heck am i doing wrong? I attached images so you can see what i mean. Thanks for any good surgestions. The first is up close and ok sharp and in focus. The other i move away to get full body..and it gets unsharp. These are just test shots, i did some other yesterday i better light but the same result.

Ok. Thanks dan ..

Ah! Reading again .. Below the the scanner bed glass

Thanks dan. You have a point there. Last i was doing this a couple a years ago i do seem to remember that i only used one glass , but still on the scanner glas. I will try to tape it and raise it a bit. Do you happen to know where the scanner head is placed on a epson v600 ..up or below the scanner bed glas..?

<p>i forgot to tell that it was a bit overexposed in camera .. maybe by one stop or so which hoped to fix with levels.. resultet in this .. see image </p>

<p>from time to time im playing around with bleaching polaroid fuji fp100c and scanning the negative with my epson v600 and vuescan set to color balance none ( doing levels in ps ), 48 bit, scan resolution 3200 ( and somtimes less - same result) and tiff output. First i preview and lock exposure , then preview again and lock filmbas and the i scan. im photographing with a polaroid 600 , maimya 127 4,7 lens. ive never seen them coming out so noisy - not even with my polaroid land 250 and thats what im confused about. Is this the film, scanner settings or the lens..or ?? any ideas will be greatly appreciatet. Btw im scanning between two antinewton glasses directly on the scanner glass. thanks :-)</p>
