Hi all,
I recently purchased a very cheap negative scanner on Amazon, and was pretty disappointed with the results. I found online a description of a process using DSLRs using 3D printed parts -- I'm intrigued by the idea - especially since I have a K-1, and the goal is to digitize film from Pentax cameras.
The question I have -- on the Pentax side, I only have the two lenses listed which have a 70mm "macro" mode. I'm confused if I can actually use these lenses for this purpose -- the minimum focus distance seems to be such that I can't fill the sensor with the negative.
Was just curious if I'm doing something wrong, or if that is in fact a limitation. I have an OM-system actual macro (bellows), but if I'm not mistaken M43 has a different aspect ratio, so I'm not sure that would be suitable for this purpose...
Thanks!
