Any you Z guys or gals wanna recommend which lenses would serve
best to copy a 3 ft by 4 ft black and white photo on a sort of fine grain
reduced gloss Kodak paper? No I don't have personal access to the negative
(aerial photo). I understand the usual drill of two light sources, one on
either side at 45 degrees, avoid specular reflections, etc., the usual copy
board stuff. Unfortunately my previous experience with a smallish copy
board is not up to this. Should I back off and use a mild telephoto to
limit the angular FOV or what? I shouldn't have a problem with exposure.
Any of my Oly body collection should do nicely and I can bracket or even
reshoot if required. My concern is for curvature of the field and not
getting sharp focus across the 5 ft diagonal extent. I know to use the
aperture of sharpest focus for whichever lense not just blindly stop it
down (not much depth required).
I'm also now accepting recommendations for what films (for
commercial procesing) would be the top choices. I was planning to use some
500 w halogen work lights for illumination but could set up out of doors
and shoot on an overcast day (I live near ocean in San Diego so overcast
with excellent difuse light is easy in the AM these days).
What say Z folk?
