Not OP, but any macro lens will do the job. You're not likely to be shooting at a wider aperture than f8 given that you'll need some depth of field to spare. (Even if you use a specialised copy lens with a flat field, the film won't be perfectly flat anyway.) So given that you're shooting an imperfectly flat piece of film at a narrow aperture, differences between lenses will be small. I use an ancient f3.5 Micro-Nikkor. These are cheap and plentiful in the second hand market and can be adapted for most cameras. As far as the camera is concerned, it's a big advantage to have an electronic shutter. The effects of camera shake are magnified with macro photography, and a mechanical shutter can make the results observably softer. I am cheap, so I use an old DSLR in T mode and use a Raspberry Pi to turn on one of those backlit sketch pads for a fraction of a second to expose the image. |
