![]() In the end, IMHO chose the best lens you can afford first (might be any brand), then put a camera behind, a cheap DSLR will do a good job, because cameras can't break laws of physic ➤ before to hit the camera's sensor, the light will always pass first thru the lens, thus a good lens = good clean light = well lite sensor = good photo. ➤ BUT I don't know this lens at all, so read reviews, it might be a fair lens. On the other hand if you buy a cropped sensor camera like the 850D, I would look into EF-S lenses like the one you've mentioned, EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens, not sure it's a good idea though, because I don't like the range (a bit to big) and the changing aperture (3.5 to 5.6) while zooming, to be a good lens I suspect that this lens might have too much barrel distortion/color fringing. ![]() Now for an every day camera, you will be limited with a 100mm which on a crop sensor will become like a 160mm (for canon multiply by 1.6 for EF lenses on cropped sensor), thus I think a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L (I have the first version EF 24-105mm F/4L IS USM) would fit your every day (the aperture is not that big for portrait, but it does the job), it's also a "Macro" in a sens that it can focus at 45cm thus you can scan your negative with it. I would go the DSLR way, I did tried long ago and it was even better than expected, but I have already DSLRs and quite a lot of lenses.īecause I'm more on a prime lens side I would recommend the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, I have it for more than a decade, it's a fantastic lens, I use it in a FF camera (5D mark II and III yes my cameras are old but still fantastic) ![]() It's hard for us to tell you which way you should go, I can just tell my own experience which might/will not fit you future experience or other people experience. It'll take sometime for me to finish scanning all old film negative.Īctually, I have another adventure awaiting for me - digitizing V8 tapes to video. After finish I'll decide the scan route and start my adventure. My next test will be running KODAK Mobile Film Scanner (software) on smartphone. I'll continue testing smartphone route a few days. Alternatively it is available in market, not expensive. ![]() The fixture for scanning is easy to build. I can run remote desktop, remotely controlling the smartphone on PC. The reason for me selecting smartphone route is convenient in operation. I shall not print the images but using them on digital album, posting them on website or creating slide shows to be played on PC. I have >10 years experience scanning photos/documents/films on it. Up to now I haven't received a definite reply.Īctually there are 3 scan routes for me to select ġ. I have been discussed DSLR route heavily on other forums.Ĭanon EOS 850D and EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lensīut I expect to know whether I can use them for daily life capturing, without purchasing additional lens. DSLR is the scanning route for quality positive images. If possible, use a DSLR with a full frame sensor (24 mm x 36 mm) Pressing a 24 mm x 36 mm negative in a small (smartphone) camera sensor results in a great loss of quality.
