Hi all first post
I am looking at designing a copy set up utilising a dsl, macro bellow, copy or enlarger lens for scanning 35mm, 6x6 6x9 and hopefully 6x12. My question is, would a horizontal set up be more ridged than a vertical design. I plan to mount the light source on one end of an aluminium profile with the bellows mounted at the other end, any thoughts or advise would be appreciated, Regards Richard
Welcome to the forum @Bogwot6
The forum hosts a separate thread that covers all kinds of setups. You might learn one or two things browsing the thread and reading the posts that look promising.
Stability etc. are very dependent on how a setup is made. From a purely mechanical point of view, anything that connects the negative (or positive) as tightly as possible to the lens beats everything else under similarly sound construction techniques.
Usability depends on other things too and again, several posts can help you discover more.
Note that other threads contain useful hints. Browse topics sorted per view.
