Interesting - the (reverse) vignetting is something I associate with my EFH days, where I tried to remove reflections in few ways and actually introduced more XD I would look into if the tubes for this device if they're any shiny or need blacking out, or try scanning with your rig in darkness, without the tubes. Are you scanning emulsion side up too? It is a bit pricy for me but I'm spoiled by the Chinese holder for 135, 120 and 4x5 for fifth of the price - while not as precise and I'm not sure about the light quality, it gets me good enough results anyway.
It seems a lot of people are complaining about vignetting. Valoi even made a video "showing" how to remove the vignetting, so, obviously it is a real problem. How many exposures have you scanned using the Easy35 and what is your experience after using it for a while?
Thank you so much for your review. Just a tip to improve even better: When doing those kind of reviews, please try to use a common film. Fuji Xtra 400 or Kodak Colorplus 200, for example. Not someone fancy and exquisite. Using fancy stuff end up like you did here, without knowing if the problem is due to the film itself or the light box. When converting film, the orange mask is removed and a lot of calculations are done, so it becomes easier to spot uneven problems in the light source. This might haven happened here.
The vignetting you're seeing on your pictures is because there is actual vignetting thanks to the lens being shot at f13or something else, it's not negative lab pro, PS: I got the same lens, the Nikon 60mm af lens.. It's amazing, you should try to scan pictures at f5.6,why? Because it's the sharpest aperture when scanning, I tried f8 and f11 and between the three tests I did, f5.6 seems the best. And for me camera scanning is the best atm personally, to get 80+ megapixels from a 26 megapixel image, I shoot 4 pictures at every corner, combine them in lightroom, and there you have it. Experiment with it and have fun! ;)

2 years ago you advocated for the Epson V850 over camera scanning. Has this changed, and if so why.
Camera scanning gave me speed and what I was looking for over the v850.
Thanks. That's interesting. You have a very solid, well thought out setup now.

Would it be hard to manually focus using this you think?

This is the best in my opinion

Are you setting the lens to f5.6 at 1:1? because that gave me horrible CA in scans before.
@@SprocketHoles yeah sure ofc
