Looking down from the second story at the plaza in front of the Chase Center where the Golden State Warriors play. Here's a description of the spheres: "Seeing spheres, 2019, consists of five fifteen-and-a-half-feet-tall polished hydroformed steel spheres that stand in a circle around a central space. Each sphere supports a flat, circular mirrored face, framed by a ring of LED lights, which is oriented inward to reflect the mirrored faces of the surrounding spheres." Summicron 28mm

Perhaps this a cliche shot -- the Red Line on the Washington, DC, metro system.  The M246 and 28Lux combination is very enjoyable to use.  Regards.

Here is a thing, we like Monochrom for the unique digital delivery but than what about using the camera as dedicated scanner of black and white negatives, the idea is not mine, I came across it in Street Silhouettes blog, so I gave it a try.

M246 attached to Nikon Bellows and slide copier, lens Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8 AiS, shot at base ISO and f8, simple LED table lamp illumination.  Very straightforward, Raw file converted into Jpg with virtually no adjustment and inverted in PS.  Negative is circa 1987, probably Efke 21/100.

Edit, no emphasis on “bokeh” in the slow film days.

 

 

I bet this is as good if not better than using a high end dedicated scanner, and it's a lot faster.  Faster, and higher quality hard to beat.  The thing I hate most about dedicated scanners is how slow they are and the cumbersome software that comes with it.  If you do anymore conversions, please share.

Using camera instead of scanner is fast, no doubt about it, exposures are at worst couple of seconds but usually fraction of the second. Of course one need to have Macro-Reproduction setup to bring lens in focus and photograph small flat area of the negative - at 1:1 or thereabouts magnification.  

My setup is an old SLR bellows with slide copier attachment, Nikon PB6 with Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8AiS, connected to M246 via cheap F-M adaptor.

My slide attachment doesn’t have film roll support so 6 frame film strips tilt when not centered in the slide frame slot, must sort this out.

Still need to try C-41 process B&W but classic silver chemistry film seem to work well. It is amazing to discover after all this time how many of my old negatives that produced good 6x4” and 10x8” prints look unsharp or barely sharp once digitised, we are truly spoiled by digital and instant feedback via LCD or computer screen.

Note, using colour digital camera makes easy work of colour slides.
