Tried to scan my 4x5 as a 6x9cm (x2), didn't do justice to the trans
Anyways I have a huge headache about LF tripods ... ugh.
LF tripod is easy - just get one that's rated at at least 2x the total weight of your camera + back + lens. :bsmilie: Err...different people will have different opinions in this. Usually, have to consider all the different factors such as how, where, how high, how low etc.
Forward offered to lend you his use first mah.
Alternatively, a super steady option is a surveyor's tripod. Get the lighter wood ones from overseas.
Thanks for the lesson.
By the way, whos da guy with the long hair as a mini-dark cloth?
And the one who smokes that funny thing?
Anyways, the last shot on my Leica today. (That round mark is caused by bending the film due to improper loading!)

Wonder what surveyor's tripod's go for in SG?
So far the only ones I've seen in use (currently) are the yellos metal Leica ones. :bigeyes:
I've scanned the slides and had a look at the images and here they are.
This is the best image I've got:

These 2 looks underexposed:

In the meantime I'm looking for a way to upload a high resolution scan of the image =.=". These are 600dpi, I'll attempt a 4800dpi scan to see
if I can see the details clearly when I got the time as this takes a long time ...
