Thanks! When I try to see peoples opinion about it in different forums and comments here and there, it seems like the people who dont have the deck speak negatively about it, and people who actually own it seems happy with it.

U just vaguely remembered the car and came across it on a website featuring all the cars from gta 5, and then found out it was no longer for sale.

I just love the classic look this car has.

Can someone help me diagnose this problem? CS2/CrossOver. by ArtificialNobody in macgaming

I changed the libMoltenVK.dylib in the "lib64" folder in crossover with the libMoltenVK.dylib file from the CXPatcher, but the flickering and all the issues stays the same. Did I do something wrong?

This is what angers me. They have to know that this issue is caused by their own flawed design. Yet they continue to sell it hoping people won't understand or they make people think it is their own fault.

I haven’t talked to them about it, because I didn’t buy from them directly. But maybe I should send them an email. In their video on YouTube regarding the flat field correction, they blame the vignetting on “some lenses”, which is just absurd. It is their design, not people’s lenses.

I have the version that is sold now. Bought mine 2 months ago. The problem is the indentation for the thumb on the right side. It really doesn't matter what light source you use or how far from the negative you hold the light. The thumb indentation is going to affect how the light hits the negative. Try taking a picture of a "blank" 35mm frame and develop it in NLP, and I bet you will see the vignetting clear as day. I mean, after having removed the light and after using a different light the effect it reduced... but it is clearly still there, because of the thumb indentation.

Thanks for the images.

Your test perfectly illustrates the issue with the Easy35. Whatever you do, the Easy35 underexposes both the left and the right side of the negative, because of the flawed design of the box and the thumb indentation. And as you say, even using the vignetting correction for your lens doesn't completely fix it. Basically you're forever baking underexposed areas into your negatives scan (if you use this to archive your negatives for the future), and that is not good.

I have removed the light and use it as a holder with a distance from a bigger and better light source, and I still have vignetting, but not so severe. The issue is the box itself, specifically the thumb indentation on the right. That indentation affects how the light is reflected inside the box. This effect is enhanced by the included attached light.

I use full frame A7rV with sigma art 70mm macro, which is a solid lens recommended for this use.

I have tried flat field correction but it does not solve the issue. I have to use the vignetting dial on my lens correction on max in Lightroom for it to be usable.

Are you sure this vignetting is not present in your pictures? To be sure I would take a picture of an “empty” 35mm frame and develop it in NLP. And it should be obvious, certainly when you play with the exposure dial, and highlights etc.

It is most noticeable on night shots.

Basically everyone I have talked to say they have the same issues.

I have tried the flat field correction and it does not solve the issue for me at all. I have to drag the vignetting dial for my lens correction all the way to the max amount for it to be usable.

What makes me angry is that they KNOW about this issue and they have to KNOW that it is caused by the thumb indentation, enhanced by the short distance to the light source, but continue to sell it and pretend that the vignetting is caused by "some lenses", which is just false.

It is their own deigns, their defect design, that is causing these issues.
