i still cant tell if i feel like the artifacts from cooking images this hard are "worth it" or if its too blergh for me. but dang check the contrast

the nikon df kinda mostly works (except when it doesnt lol)?? mirror locks up with an increasing frequency the higher the shutter speed it shoots at. uhhhhhh i dunno Mechanical Failure. enjoy these shots i took with it while trying to figure out wtf going on after retrieving it up here in the north

ehh not the happiest with the result but its something

dont sweat it just take the picture while u run circles

i found a dedicated scanner! controlled via usb! works right out of the box with xsane!

but uhhhh... it sees differently.
in the first image, you can see the wild depth of field that it's capable of
and in the second you can see that it sees through a lens... how my eye would. or how another lens would perceive it.
it's not scanning the projected image from the lens like the epson does. it's... taking a photo much more how a camera with a lens mounted to it already would. and i have NO idea why. i guess it's a different type of scanner? maybe i can mod it to behave the way i want? is this why i see people mention needing a ground glass in the setup? if so then why doesn't the epson need it? sooo many questions.

really close crop of a 9:16 24mm shot, ended up rly loving this section where everything comes together so tightly
