Hi!
I scan my films, mostly medium format, with my Fuji X-pro 2 digital camera (24mpx) and a Fuji XF-80mm macro lens with results that are quite satisfying to me. When I scan medium format I usually do it in two shots, which gives me a final image size of about 32 mpx. There is one issue I have and it's with merging the shots. No matter if I use LR or PS and no matter the projection method, the edges of the frame are almost never completely straight. I find it suprising as it's not a panorama so there is no difference in perspective between shots, they are all on the same plane (and the shots are sharp from edge to edge...). It's especially annoying when I want to keep the black edges of the film as it then shows this flaw even more. I'm under the impression that it has to do with lens distortion even tough this lens is supposed to have very little. Still I notice it and correct it so lines seem straight on each separate shoot but when merged a curve or a bend still appears in the final merged image. Side note: I am using a mac.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
