It's actually quite cool to see half frame negs

They used to make adapters for other lenses.

How did you scan them this way?

 

[raytoei]

the v700 has an option for scanning off the glass.
i think the v600 can do that as well.
i did tape down the negative.

I used to worry about the half-frame image quality not being up
to scratch despite the excellent lenses. Well, I forgot the kind
fella who suggested that rather than seeing the half-frame as a
single image, how about thinking about it as a series of
images eg a sequence of events, different perspectives or simply
related images formed in a Triptych.

So.. here are some images, all captured on the Pen-Ft and 40/1.4.
Film is Arista Premium 400 (Tri-x 400)

Thanks for viewing

This is pretty good, you can optimise the use of premium film.
