demourne Posted March 24 Share #1 Posted March 24 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear all, I started an experiment and digitised BW film with the M10 Monochrom. Picture was taken with a Mamiya 6 on Adox CHS 100 II developed in 1:50 Rodinal. The lens was Thypoch 1.5/50mm and one 10mm spacer by K&F. The light source is from Negative Supply. The M10M pictures give you enough headroom in the shadows and lights and really pulls a lot of lights. Very pleasant. Better than my EPSON V850. Like to hear your comments and thoughts.

Advertisement Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Hi demourne, Take a look here BW film "scanning" with M10 Monochrom.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
TomB_tx Posted March 24 Share #2 Posted March 24 I've tried scanning B&W negatives with Negative Supply setup with both M10 & Sony A7III, and got very nice tonality and results. However for my use I didn't think the extra work was worth it compared to the easy batch scanning with the V850. I just processed and scanned my sons first roll with the M3 DS I gave him for his birthday, both of us are very pleased with the results. I just use Epson Scan and let it do its thing with one click. But I'm old enough to want the easy way out if results are acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenInTime Posted March 24 Share #3 Posted March 24 The grain is looking a bit soft at the edges - a macro lens or 50mm Elmar-M should help fix that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still working on my setup. What about an enlarger lens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you FrozenInTime. I do have a bellow with m-mount on the camera side and different options on the lens side. One is M39. Therefore an enlarger lens should work fine.

250swb Posted March 25 Share #7 Posted March 25 Advertisement (gone after registration) Another option would be a cheap F mount to M mount adapter and use a tried and trusted Nikon micro lens, a 60mm AF-D would be a good choice. This setup is far more useful if you want to do other close up work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted March 25 Share #8 Posted March 25 The Macro Elmarit R 60 gave me very good results on M10 fitted with 1:1 extension and R to M adapter. But lately I find it easier to use a Sony A7 III and inexpensive Sony 50 mm macro autofocus that does 1:1 without adapters. The autofocus make setup easier and results are better than expected. I use for digitizing color slides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesphoto99 Posted March 26 Share #9 Posted March 26 I compared an M10M with my D850 (same lens, an inexpensive but highly rated 100mm modern Tokina) and couldn't find any real discernible differences. The D850 is much easier to work with, especially if tethering to Lightroom. I use live view in LR to frame, and then manual focus with the D850 and an angle magnifier to take the shot (which I can do via mouse in LR). Welcome, dear visitor!
