"Macro" mode for negative scanning (Pentax-F 35-70 or Pentax-A 70-210)

I suspect it is closer to 1:4.

As promised have I done some testing of my own today:
The image in the upper left was made with the original K-3 (APS-C) + SMC Pentax-M Macro F4 50mm @f5.6.
The image in the lower left corner was made with the K-3 + SMC Pentax-F Zoom 35-70mm + 36mm Extension Tube @f8
The crops where made from the upper part of the tree close to the middle and from the lower left edge of each image.



A dedicated macro lens like the M 50mm f4 lens is certainly more desireable for negative scanning, but the F 35-70mm lens in combination with some extension tubes is still a viable option on a tight budget (depending on how big you are planning to print the images afterwards)
