Macro Lens For Panasonic DC-S1R For Large Format Film Scanning?

[sperdynamite]

Thanks, good to know. First-hand info and experience are very helpful.

What format films are you scanning with the S1R and the Sigma 70mm setup?

Also curious how the pixels hold up if interpolating (enlarging) in Photoshop if you are doing this?

I'm scanning nearly all formats from 35mm to 8x10. The 70 is great for this because it allows single capture of all these formats on a copy stand.

Here is a jpg of a 4x5 I scanned for a client. Portra 160 neg, unsharpend. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vfg0peyjoj...50008.jpg?dl=0 The raw is a little bit better than the jpg, but frankly I have no need for greater quality than this. This lens is already resolving the grain, and I can produce a 360dpi print at my maximum print size. In these situations I will downsample, which further cleans up an already very clean scan.
