Stuart Richardson Posted March 23, 2023 Share #41 Â Posted March 23, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) It would be an interesting comparison. In my experience multishot is good and truly does increase resolution, but not to a true 187mp or 96mp. I think it gives a good boost, but native results seem better. So my suspicion would be that the M11 would give you a better result than the SL2S with multishot, but it would be an interesting comparison. Please share if you do it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Thanks again! If this can help, I set the lens to M focus, and set it to the minimum distance, On the camera, I have attached a 24 Monito on the HDMI to see it larger, and then I move the camera up and down to focus on the macro rail. I use SL2 with 105 sigma at f8 at 1/250's. I use a flash to backlight multiple sheets of plexiglass. I just the power of the Flash for different films. The lens is good, but still needs LCC correction. I take a white frame and please color pickers from center to corners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried multishot on the SL2 when I started, I didn't notice any improvement. I have tested few other cameras. Â Above 40MP the resolution of film 35mm didn't improve. The M 90mm Macro lens is a very good lens for this, optimized for macro and very sharp. I can see that working well on the M11. You may need more than one macro ring to get to 1:1 if I remember right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking generally about it. I think you do see an effect for 6x7 at least… 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted March 23, 2023 Share #45 Â Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I tried multishot with the SL2-S for both 35mm and 4x5. Although both gave me more detail, in real life I don't actually need more than 24mp for most uses. If I wanted to print 4x5 at very large size, or crop 4x5 substantially, then I might use multishot, but not otherwise. I'm not convinced that for 35mm we gain anything from more than about 24mp - the film resolution is limiting.

I have a coolscan from Nikon Ive had since they came out.  4000 dpi on 35mm negs in slow speed film does a great job with 30-35mb DNG files.  Tri X 400 tends to get some grain limits, but FP4+ and Ilford 50 do really well. I am hoping to get 6x6 sizes to print 18x18 or 24x24 and smaller.  It just seems a shame not to get a great scan of a large negative.  The S system proved that to me over 35mm… After tax season I’ll try the multi-shot, single shot and M11 with a few lens combos and see how it works out… Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsnapped Posted March 30, 2023 Share #47  Posted March 30, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am currently using the SL2 and Sigma 105mm f2.8. I built a stand out of 1" Black Steel Pipe 36" in length mounted to a wooden base. The camera is held by a super clamp and Benro 3-Way Pan head. I can scan from 35mm to 4x5, with the possibility of 8x10 if my calculations are correct. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
