Digitalizer test take 2: propped up the height by 0.8cm.
Much better than before, with sharpness surpassing the Epson holder at stock height. The Epson holder is height adjustable though so if height's the factor it'll probably be able to match this.
Conclusion, the Digitalizer does a better job keeping the film flat than the Epson holder, but height needs to be adjusted. Advantage can only be seen on curly & unwieldy film.

For the last day of summer 2024, I decided to ride my bicycle for a photo tour in Lyon, France, across the city along the Rhône and the Saône rivers.
I brought along my French 35mm camera FOCAsport II loaded with an Ilford FP4+. The camera was equipped with a the FOCA metal shade hood (the model designed for the Oplar lens 3.5/3.5cm) and a FOCA filter, either as indicated bellow. the DYMA x3.5, the Yellow x2.5, or the simple AUV. The film was exposed for 125 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective light measurements privileging the shadow areas and compensated the filter absorption a bit less than the filter coefficients.

After complete exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal at the dilution 1+50 for 15min at 20°C. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III equipped with a Minolta Slide Duplicator and lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at the 1:1 reproduction ratio. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg plus some documentary smartphone(Vivio Y76) color pictures.
About the camera :
My FOCAsport II is a French 35mm camera manufactured in the O. P. L. (Optique et Précision de Levallois S.A.) factory in Châteaudun, Eure, France in 1962.
The camera is the model-1, version-4 (1962) of the FOCAsport II series appeared in 1957 produced in France until late 1962. FOCAsport II was the most advanced FOCASport equipped with a 55mm basis range finder coupled to a Tessar-type fixed OPLAR 1:2.8 F=4,5cm with an ATOS II central shutter with 2 leaves limiting a bit the shortest exposition time to 1/300s down to the second plus the B pose.
The FOCAsport II was provided to the French "Armée de Terre" and the "Gendarmerie Nationale". It was less expensive than the FOCA camera with a focal curtain shutter even in its most basic version (FOCA Standard). For more affordable, It was also sold tax-free in many military stores for soldiers and officiers of the French Army, in France and oversea's.
The camera is in very good condition with clear lens and range finder correctly calibrated. It came with the original leather ever-ready FOCA bag, the original user manual, and a FOCA 36mm push-on green filter in original boxes.
