Read the video description -- I have updated it with answers and thoughts after using the machine more.

This is exactly how I do it. I’m using a hasselblad H4X/Macro lens and a phase one IQ280 80mpx back. I use mirror up mode and use capture one tethered on an older MacBook Pro. I’m using FireWire, as this powers the back. You do get camera shake with the shutter vibration if you’re not careful. BTW, negative supply’s premium 120 feeder is terrible and I’ve complained to high heaven. It’s built like a tank but it also functions like one. Hard to feed film through it. They really are not that great. I’m with you 100% except, I prefer to not give them anymore money until they fix their issues.

What do you do with the ditital images you are scanning so meticulously from film? How do you "consume" photos? Do you print your scanned digital images?

This is a VERY solid setup, I dare say, overkill even lol. My scanning setup is a little less refined, although I do use an old copy stand as well.

Thank you. This is exactly the information I need. I have the z7 as well and the same 50mm. I thought I would need a macro lens. But the macro ring makes so much sense for scanning.

Using LR to tether, it also has an auto focus button and a shutter button so you don't need to touch the camera to focus or trip the shutter. I suspect that C1 has the same function.

My camera (Pentax K1 markII) has built in digital filters, with color negatives I put the camera in negative filter and tweaked the white and color balance to be close to what I want and save the white balance and color profile and set the camera back to RAW. to get the best results I hooked up my monitor with HDMI to my camera. now it is just shooting and reverse it to negative and you have a very nice baseline to start if you want to edit your photo's in photoshop.

Doesn't the Z7 have IBIS? What would a 4 second exposure look like, with and without IBS switched off?

zIf you crop before you start editing you will have a histogram that make sense in C1P. Also I have the histogram display 4 time one for each color. you don’t have to switch from one to another and you see when you clip colors. In C1P setting, exposure use channel Mode Red,green and Blue and Pick target 0-255 upi may find useful a plugin for C1P called “Analog Toolbox for Capture One” it is beta but like NLP

I use an old slide copy stand, that I can put a camera on now. I use an LED light source, and a wireless camera release. Perhaps, I'll do a video for my set up.

Hi, great tutorial, but I have a suggestion to improve your results from NLP as a long time user: As far as I understand it, NLP works fully on what it can "see" on the screen, so it basically does the same thing that you did in Capture One with the pipettes for the highlights and shadows for all channels in Levels, but it lacks a brain to differentiate what is part of the image and what is part of the frame, so it was just picking shadow for all channels on the emulsion of the film and highlights on all channels on the film holder. In order to get good results from it from the start you need to crop your images before conversion (either using the crop tool in Lightroom to remove all of the frame around the photo, or using the "border buffer" option with preview enabled). Only after you convert the image you can de-crop it back to what you want to have as a final image. Try to see if you can maybe crop one of your images to only show the actual image, then convert with NLP, then after conversion remove the crop and see how that goes :) Also one more note: you can correct the blue tint in highlights to some degree in the White Balance section of NLP by just moving the sliders there in the Highs sub-menu.

Very nice and ridged film scanning setup. Surprised you're not using a macro lens, your standard 50mm must be very good. I use a Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8.

this is extremely over thinking and over engineering for what you are doing. good for you for creating projects for yourself and keeping yourself busy, but most of the stuff in your set up is really not at all necessary for getting good film scans. camera shake is honestly a non issue with film scanning even with the most basic setup.

Awesome set up

This is nice, but I would consider this older-generation equipment at this point. I use a Blackscale Labs holder for 120 and a Valoi Easy35 for 135. The copy stand mess - it gives me nightmares. With the two options I mention, it utterly eliminates camera shake, because the camera is either connected to the holder or literally resting on the holder. I find the dust brush on the Easy35 does well enough, but for the 120 I use a Kinetronics Staticvac. I don't mind the holder on Blackscale as I cut my film for storage anyway, and I have enough holders to load a full roll of 120 at once.

just use a decent flat bed scanner

I use an EPSON V500 scanner. It is very easy to use. Excellent results.🙂

I would be interested to see how you convert using Capture 1.

Awesome! Have to try it! Thank you

chinese item doing what it does best, suck

This machine should be able to grind steal beans. 680w brushless 💪🏻

How do you find in the cup compared DF64v both DLC's?

DF64V addressed this with the Oct 2023 circuit board and slow feeder bean disk. Hopefully they'll also upgrade the next batch of DF83V.

C'mon, 600W+ motor should not even think on stalling however light the roast or how quick you pour the beans down...or even the finess of the setting...go ask Mazzer major with no pre-breakers and hopper usually full. Must be a kind of too sensitive safety system...annoying thing to have in such a beast otherwise IMHO :C

Is that a 110v or 220v grinder?

If you are going to hit start don't dump on so fast, especially at such a small grind size. If hot start, pour in slowly. Control board is programmed to shut off if senses to much resistance and dropping in like that will trip it

I can’t see what RPM you are on but if a low RPM and fine setting 15 mine does it too when throwing everything in quickly,but if I drop a little at a time no problem

Holy shit this is genius

Freakin' Brilliant!

Il contenitore è quello originale? Oppure si trova in commercio? Chi lo vende e come si chiama?, grazie

I found the link on Blade Forums. GENIUS!!! Thanx.

Super cool video... In this video i show you how to make a Goniometer for under 10$... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4HLe4VjacSojJo

you should check the contacts on these replacement batteries. The proper readings should be 11.7 volts. Of course you can’t beat the true Rollei battery pack. The cells are not easy to install (soldering). I did it but also got a couple of hot short scary circuts ! No damage however.

For this method to be accurate you absolutely must move the center of the protractor to the intersection point of the bevel lines. Otherwise your angle indicator is going to be incorrect. Typically that would be the center of the protractor being at the at the same height of the knife and completely in line with the laser, and the point of reflection on the knife. Yours is lower because the table is supporting both the cardboard of the knife and the protractor sheet. It looks like you have the side to side calibration correct. If you put the angle markings on a riser you can adjust that similar to how you adjust the lateral movement of the blade.

This is GREAT!!! Getting some laser pointers to try it out. Thank you!!

Outstanding!

Pretty neat thanks for sharing

Guys like you are keeping America great!

Geez this game has some good graphics

I have a Rolleiflex 6006 and the battery is shot. I have looked at Mignon1 as well but after reading the reviews here I'm unsure about purchasing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could use or where I can find a battery.

ugly solution, but i know its hard, getting an empty battery tray. i am affraid its not a good way to use three of this 14500 with integrated protection board, they wont work in series. The right way ist to use three 14500 without protection board but with a separate battery management system. The higher voltage of an actual li-ion cell package cant be a problem. i work on a simple refill solution, with li-ion and bms, it works now flawless with SL 6002 6006 in first tests.. have a look at my videos how easy the change is.

KZbin really hid this video. I wish I found it sooner. I've done multiple searches for GX680 over the year and this finally showed up after being posted over 2 years ago. Damn it youtube.
