Sort of took away everything that made the original pinhole photo interesting

Oops my lysdexia acting up

I was operating on mistaken information from an incorrect source. Please forgive the error.

A dx sensor is 23.6x15.8mm so to fill the frame with a frame of 135 you would need a magnification of 1:1.53 and that lens only focuses down to 1:2 so you would definitely need the extension tube. But the es-1 holds the film a fixed distance from the lens and it’s designed for full frame cameras...

It’s hard to tell from the description what you did to the photos. I think you resampled the image to a lower resolution, which would make it impossible to see if the file looks sharp. What you would need to post so that we can see the sharpness of the image is a crop of small portion of the...

If the sensor was out of the correct flange focal distance the camera would focus slightly nearer or farther than where you set the plane of focus according to the viewfinder, but some part(s) of the image would still be in perfect focus. You can test this by taking a picture of a ruler placed...

Sometimes the film can shift slightly in the holder after it’s inserted into the camera. It’s less of a problem for short exposures but for long exposures it can cause blur or something that looks kinda like a double exposure. To avoid the it shifting it’s important to make sure the film is as...

I’m talking about the new Polaroid B&W i-type or 600 film. Those are the ones I’ve done it with, anyway. You have to cut open the film and peel it apart destroying the image and then soak the remaining layers in diluted household bleach to reveal the negative. It also kinda works with the color...

The positive layer of new Polaroid is similarly soft, but the negative layer beneath it is very sharp if you’re willing to remove the top layers with diluted household bleach

I see how it could appear so if you misinterpret the entire context of the post, which is about artists being inspired by and emulating the work of other artists. In that context, what op is asking reduces the entire creative process of a person down to a set of technical specifications to be...

I remember when these were released. Seemed so futuristic at the time. I couldn’t afford one as I was still a student but by the time I had saved up to go digital the landscape was already totally different only a couple years later. I ended up with a canon rebel xti that I still have and is...

You can start with the amount of information you want to capture from a piece of film and work backwards to the specs of the camera and lens necessary to capture that information using only a few basic optics formulas and the nyquist sampling theorem. You’re coming from scanning 8x10 on a...

Well thank you for correcting me :)

Please correct me if I’m wrong but readily available off the shelf filters would generally not be as capable of passing wavelengths to the same degree of specificity as the filter layers coated onto a piece of film. Meaning they generally pass more frequencies outside of their intended range...

You’re right and those could look pretty similar to the head and shoulders shot op shared. I think I saw the full body shot on the big white background and went straight to thinking about a big 10k, but that’s not necessary for op’s idea
