I've done lots of tests along these lines... doesn't work. Yes, you may end up with a huge file scanning a print, but the resolution of the paper is nowhere...
From memory, the setup was a bit like an 'ersatz camera' from a block of wood (or whatever) with a camera lens mounted on top and the film across a 'gate'...
OK Mark, the resolution of the paper print when scanned is pretty good as I've done that myself from 110 prints, and it's really impressive. Problem is I have...
I recently heard that a friend who owns a very old camera store was about to give another friend an ancient E4 process kit. The chemicals probably are not...
I have not yet tried this, but I read about someone with a 4x5 enlarger using a 4x5 glass type to proof print whole rolls of Minox negs - kinda like a contact...
What's "grain aliasing," and what causes it?

I haven't dismissed anything easily, I've been fighting to get digital captures of my Minox negatives for 10 years, but I still cannot get anywhere near a 5x7...
aliasing in general is what happens when you sample a continuous signal at discrete samples and the errors that occur. No film scanner has enough resolution...
I bought a Holga branded Starblitz flash for subminis after my Minolta died. I paid only $12.99 including shipping from the same seller, but it looks like...
Official Kodak formulas for E4 are on the Kodak web site (or were a few years ago). You may have trouble finding the succinaldehyde and formaldehyde for the...
Hi Speedy Thanks for the generous offer. I would be happy to give the film to someone else to tinker with. This is only "found film", I am a bit curious as to...
would you admit it? ;) just curious if anyone has buckled under the compelling attraction... heck, if I wasted money on a Minox Classic M3 and flash... ?? In...
Just what are the dimensions of the StarBlitz (Holga) flash, Mark? Trying to adapt a flash from a throw-away camera may be an excercise in time wastfulness? ...

I guess the appeal of the Golden Half is like that of the Holga, it is simplicity, and since it really doesn't look like a real camera people don't take it...
I just looked it up as I had never heard of it. In the picture it looks almost identical to my old Kodak Holiday that was my first camera when I was a kid....
Mark, I'm getting mixed messages from your posts. On the one hand you say (a I read it) Minox digital camera film scans are hardly worth the effort and OTOH...

I wonder if the old Olympus half frame covered in blue leather-ete would have attracted such attention? Maybe I should scan e-bay and try to paint or recover...
I don't know of any that are actually smaller, do you? Once you get the tube, cap and battery out of a disposable it will all add up to about the same...

In case it wasn't obvious, I wasn't saying the Starblitz was the best or smallest or anything, just that I found the price and availablity a good thing and...
mixed threads... for 35mm FF I find film scanning win-win. with current equipment Minox is nearly worthless for what I want, while wet lab Minox images can be...
