The photos are definitely detailed but typically the camera and lens has a tiny bit of movement creating this blurriness. At 200mm with a non-IS lens I would try a shorter shutter speed.

True. I have sent it to Sharpen AI also, from a virtual copy, and it looks much sharper and cleaner. At the same time the character of the film easily gets lost the more the file is processed and ...

Smart solution to be able to move your film holder to the next frame, be it at the cost of the copy stand base plate. The copy stand looks like the Kaiser RS1 with the RA1 arm, am I correct?

A digitized 35mm Fuji Prova 400X positive from the Contax G2 and Planar 35mm, scanned with the same setup (R5 and RF 100mm macro). I was quite pleasantly surprised by the amount detail (focus is ...

I have now carried out a few quick tests with the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L macro. Mounted the camera (R5) on my Peak Design tripod, by reversing the centre column. I couldn't get the camera LCD ...

I tried the new HDR function with three exposures from the Canon R5 using the camera HDR mode, shot hand held at fast shutter speed - 1/1250 s. When I compare the merged HDR image from Adobe ...

You may prefer DeNoise AI, with minimal sharpening artifacts and a bit cleaner noise reduction, especially when "Severe Noise" AI model is used. DeNoise AI is also considerably faster than Sharpen ...

Here are a couple from me... @14mm: https://chrisceder.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/958e0f0c7aea8a2d4e25c481c547f5f4.jpg https://chrisceder.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/de5b10210fd5935627dc688e ...

I agree. The 14-35 mm is a fantastic lens, it produces visibly sharper and better looking images on the R5 than the EF 16-35 mm f/4, with the added bonus of its small size and close up ...

In custom mode, I have tried everything I can find in the menu settings to increase the f-stop value with normal (clockwise) rotation of the main dial (the top dial behind the shutter button), but ...

I use the Prograde 325 GB with the Transcend CFexpress reader. The card is nowhere near hot when ejected, only slightly warm. I haven't used the card for video, but have no issues for photography.

Thank you! Very thorough and helpful answer.

Those are all stunning images, with the second my fav.

What would be the max megapixel size with the R5 and 100mm RF macro when scanning a 6x7 frame (medium format film) and only taking one image of the whole frame avoiding the need to stitch multiple ...

I think correct backlight is essential for best results. There is also a Lightroom plugin called Negative lab pro which could be useful, albeit I am mostly a Capture One and DxO PL user myself. htt ...

Thank you for the input. I have use RAW therapee in the past, might give it a shot again...

Thank you for the feedback! I think RAW is the way to go, too much baked-in processing in a jpeg.

Thank you for your helpful answer. I have anti-newton glass film holders which are used in the scanner. I guess those work with a digital camera as well. The setup looks pretty simple - a lightbox ...

Thank you very much for your insightful and helpful answer! I would of course make use of the creative possibilities of this new macro lens as well. I agree it's a big investment if only used for ...
