Ah, it's difficult to pic up sarcasm whilst reading. No tone of voice or body language to pic up on! Thanks for the kind words on the pic, it's much appreciated.

Not that it should matter to you or anyone else, but your picture works for me 'as is' -- thanks for posting.

Welcome to the forum!

No rules here in the film section, other than the shots were taken with a film camera. Pretty simple, any film camera brand, any film type, any film format works. So post away!

Film is flat. Focus with magnified live view. The problem is not the focusing, the problem's are inconsistent white balance which is often way off and not redeemable in post ( I might try putting a 80A warn up filter between the light source and slide to correct this) , blur on pictures I know to be super sharp (it is almost as if the camera lens de-focuses itself after pressing the shutter), I also sometimes get a ring of light around the outer thirds of the image on occasion. As I said the real problem is the inconsistency. The camera is tripod mounted and flat, as are the slides. I know that if both are not 100% flat that could account for the blur, but not the inconsistency. I use a remote and self timer to eliminate shake. I will try again using a different lens - a 50mm or 90mm macro to see if this cures the problems, if it does I will invest in a copy stand as trying to get slide and camera totally parallel is a PIA otherwise

Strange, my setup is basically quite similar. I use a 50m macro at F8, camera in AV mode, ISO 100. Light source is a Kaiser lightpad with 5000 K (camera set to this) and I dont have such issues. Oh, I use electronic shutter to prevent the mirror coming down and up again when taken the picture. This could introduce blur, I guess.

The rule is a little like the Pirate Code...more like an advisory of sorts.

Two friends of mine on Gold 200, both at f2 15th. Pentax ME Super, M50mm f2.

It would be hard to get colour this rich on digital.
