Always use the optimal aperture on your lens - this varies but is generally
two stops smaller than the widest aperture on the lens. Refer to the
Technique Guide for more information.
Scan with a slight border outside the frame area. When you move
to the next frame, try to align each frame in the same place on the
camera screen - this will allow you to batch crop all frames at the same time
instead of cropping one by one. It might help to enable a grid-overlay on
your camera. Labs typically crop 5-10% into frames, so unless the edge
of the frame is very critical we recommend saving time by using the same
method.
To nd the correct scanning exposure, frame and focus on what you think
is a well-exposed frame on the lm. Check the meter on the camera and
adjust the exposure until you get to +1EV (overexposing the scan by 1
stop). This will ensure the best quality scan.
If your light source is larger than the Advancer or Holder you are using,
mask off the extra area to minimise light spilling into the room. A sheet of
cardboard or black foam board with a hole cut in the middle works well.
