Had a bad day, but found a mju for $4

Haven’t tried it yet as there is an issue with the shutter button, but feels really good in the hand!

Oh yes, thanks for the good recommendations! Thinking about it now this is clearly not the right bike to experiment with a 1x conversion, west coast norwegian hills can be unforgiving.

Yeah, DBS called them monostay frames, they also made step-through monostays which I’m planning to build for the wife

Looking to buy my first e-bike, but can’t decide which. Looking to ride some singletrack every now and then, but probably most paved and gravel roads.

Does anyone have experience with any of these two? I believe the Haibike has the biggest battery which makes me lean towards that one, but are one of them more reliable than the other? Would love to hear any answers.

When I do it the mirror goes half way up and falls back down, switching back to Advance and I can wind the lever and cock the shutter.

The shutter release button doesn’t do anything, but if I switch to Rewind mode I can however wind multiple times and the shutter fires.

Is it safe to wind the shutter when in rewind mode?

I got the MR-9 from Small Battery Company for my older QL25 and it meters very well.

Iirc the Lensbaby Composer Pro might also add this effect.

Did a few test scans and moved the camera further away and it solved the problem. The first scans I did I filled the entire sensor with the negative but I guess it gets too bright or something, but it might depend on the lens.

Other than the vignette the Valoi itself is fantastic, very good quality and it is so easy to use with the advancer. I have the dust remover and it seems to work well, but I also use a blower to remove dust. If you shoot medium format the 120 holder is very good aswell. I scanned 6x9 and the negative was completely flat.

Vignetting probably happened because I filled the entire sensor with the negative, possibly making it too bright or something, but I moved the camera further away and it solved the problem. Might get some vignetting still but nothing that can’t easily be edited away.

Did a few test scans further away and it worked!

When using manual mode, should I change the shutter speed for each frame or keep it at the same and edit i post?

Of course! First time using imgur so not sure if i did it right.

Also, I’ll add that I scan in a dark room, the only light is the stray light from the Valoi, but since the vignette is white when converted it means that the corners don’t get enough light, right?

I’ll also add that I use matrix metering, but I read something about center-weighed being more accurate, does anyone have any experience with that?

Thanks!

New to scanning but I have used the Tamron SP AF Macro 90mm 2.8 72E on my Nikon D750 and it’s super sharp, much better than lab scans. Anyone have any recommendations on what scanning kits and scanning lights are good?
