It may have more to do with exercising the card sufficiently.  If a card has some as yet unhandled/undetected bad blocks, you need to force sufficient reads and writes for the card firmware to ...

Note that cards may map out bad blocks and replace them from spares.  A failure may not repeat unless the card is beyond what it can cope with.  This means that, if a card fails, and then works OK ...

The thread is getting a bit long and confusing. I only have the 60mm. It seems no one has the 30 mm and the JJC set with the extension tubes. There is another JJC-set that just includes the light ...

It's going to be close. I got out a set-square, I reckon, with no extension tubes and just the included step-up ring, it will be 57.5-58mm to the slide. There won't be a need/room for spacers. ...

If someone would hold a slide in front of the 30mm, fill the frame, and measure the distance from the front of the lens barrel, that could be combined with the measurements from my previous post . ...

If you've cleaned all the lens contacts, sd-card contacts, battery contacts, and it's on the latest firmware, is it still under warranty?  If yes, send it back in.  If not, contact them and see if ...

I think the MC-20 a lot more successful if it's used to fill a reasonable amount of the frame. Less so when attempting to crop a small portion of the frame into something useable. Plus sample ...

Too much information before.  The penny just dropped: There's a right side to scan?! Who would have known, not me. OK, so I scanned the dull side and then reversed the result.  It didn't make as ...

I've no B&W slides to scan and no experience with that format. My result seems typical of what I was getting from color negatives from my old DIY scanning rig. This was the first slide to hand. I ...

The first thing I tried was 80mp high res. I'm not sure many of my slides will benefit, but where there is detail to be had, it does bring it out better. Past landscapes with tripod hires hint at ...

I had not really given it a close look, I just jumped in and used it.   I took a look just now.  A jpeg of a black screen exposed for 17% grey appears even. This is just by looking, not checking ...

It came with it, along with a bunch of others.   Just assemble and go.

For many years I've been meaning to do a bit of DIY and hack together a rig to scan some old slides. I could not resist this reasonably priced, more immediate, solution which supports the Olympus ...

OM-1: Menu → Playback → 2 Operations →Playback/Mag-symbol Default Setting → Equally Value EM-1 III: Menu → Cog →D2→Playback/Mag symbols → Equally Value Default Setting → Equally Value The Equally ...

It's quite probable that Topaz denoise knows nothing about mirrors, so the two areas of the image are unrelated and and cleaned up separately. I wonder if may be possible to catch it out in other ...

I find that, if I've accidentally over tightened it, I may have to use some extra force when unlocking it.  I hold the font of lens in one hand, the hood's ring in the other, and apply jerking ...

This is based on old notes on the E-M1 II and from using my OM-1: (1) In the menu , go to Cog/Gear-B , find the Lever Settings , set the lever to Switch AF-Mode/AF Target Mode .

I think you are reading more into my words than I intend. I'm not seeking to defend m43. Your original post clearly outlined you had some circumstances that are better suited to a larger format, ...

I did write " may not add much ", which was the point made by the videos.  Plus he made the point that output mediums screen/print restrict how much of DR can be put to use.
