Digitized using Carl Zeiss Macro-Planar 120mm F/4 CFE lens adapted to Fujifilm GFX 100S camera, coupled with Valoi Easy120 film scanning kit.
About 15 years ago I have digitized over 3500 slides and nearly 2000 negatives with a slide scanner. Now I found out, that the quality is much better using a modern digital camera.

This lily was observed on the lower slopes of Mt. Ranier in August 2001. I am not sure of the species but, to me, it appears to be the Columbian tiger lily - Lilium columbianum which is native to the North Western America.

Here's my new setup for digitizing 35mm film! I bought a Nikon ES-2 film digitizing adapter that is designed for use with certain Nikon macro lenses. But I ended up mounting it on the front of an Olympus 30mm f/3.5 macro lens (using a step up ring), and it works great. The prescribed Nikon macro lens for this with an APS Nikon DSLR is their 40mm macro, resulting in 60mm equivalent full frame focal length. Hence, with its 2x crop factor on Olympus micro four thirds, the 30mm lens is perfect. The camera is mounted on a ball head which is attached to an L.L Rue "Groofwin Pod" which I happen to have laying around and it too works perfectly for this application - making for a nice stable tabletop camera support. I have all this pointing toward my lightbox, and of course I'm using a remote release to prevent camera shake.
The first thing I'm using this for is to digitize all my father's old 35mm slides. I'll no doubt post a few of those here and there while I make my way through this project. It could take awhile, as I have several binders full of his slides!

Another use for outdated CDs and DVDs. Good for reducing air drag and provides pleasant tunes in a crosswind.
I'm in the middle of digitizing my wife's grandfather's film from the 50's and 60's, and kodachrome slides from the 60's and 70's.
It's been a fun side project. I hope to never go down the using and developing 8mm film road. If I do, I give folks permission to smack me.
So far so good on this particular unit. It's a lot slower going than I thought. I just, incorrectly, thought it would view the film and digitize it. Instead, it is going through and snapping a photo frame by frame. It will be a cleaner end result, but darn, it takes longer than expected.
