Still refining my setup for copying my slides with a Canon 5DII
I misplaced my written notes so I will try to keep them here instead...
All advice and suggestions are appreciated =)
TBD: ISO, Jpeg settings...
CAMERA:
Canon 5D MkII
Best digital camera I have.
AWB seems to work fine
It is possible higher ISO settings pull more details out of shadows... more testing is needed to solve this...
Av (aperture priority) mode is used since the camera cannot control the lens iris. This way the camera selects the shutter speed automatically... 1/50 is common...
I sometimes re shoot with an adjustment to exposure compensation of +/- 1 before moving on to the next slide
JPG is preferred since the majority of the slides wont need further processing nor do they rate it.
JPG Settings: TBD...
For the best slides perhaps RAW would be better to get a fuller dynamic range...
SOFTWARE:
Canon EOS Utility
To tether the camera to my MacBook Pro.
Focusing can be done on the computer screen far more accurately than I can do it looking through the cameras prism viewfinder.
PROJECTOR:
Kodak Ektagraphic III
Replaced the original 4200 with an Ektagraphic III which has a brighter bulb, this helps with shadow details.
Like the later model Kodak Carousel projectors little to no heat reaches the slide so it retains a flat shape.
Older Kodak models generated enough heat to "pop" the slide curving it slightly. ( In fact earlier models came with lenses which took this curve into account and corrected for it.)
LENS:
Fuji Fujinon-EP 105mm 5.6 Enlarging Lens @ f8
f5.6 is not as sharp as f8 for the small details. f11 adds noise, probably from the back guts of the projector which are covered by a white piece of plastic...
This piece of plastic is from the local TAP plastics shop. I used the thinnest piece that was completely opaque, and had no visible grain or texture in it....
The 105mm lens is the best I have found for 1:1 copying at this distance. 75mm was too short and 135mm too long.
BELLOWS:
Leica R Bellows
A large and rugged bellows system it has the tripod mount on an adjustable rail so it can be refocused without adjusting the actual bellows extension.
A M39 --> Leica R adapter on the front to mount the enlarger lens, and a Leica R to EOS mount on the back for the 5DII
