I have been constantly looking for an ideal solution scanning large 6x7 film negatives with my Fujifilm mediumformat camera, the GFX 50s II. Now with the Tamron SP 90/2.8 VC Macro lens - which showed to work excellent in macro mode (covering the GFX sensor when going close)....

But the Pawn shop sold me a broken lens.

When the mind locks up (on an idea)

You know, when you have a concept in mind, or you wish to accomplish a certain task with a certain type of camera (tool)... it sometimes can lead to a lock-up. (I mean, preventing one from looking outside the box - for other solutions).

In this case i loved the results from the larger Fujifilm GFX sensor, its color quality (and resolution via the 50 MP RAW files). So, I went for that, instead of using the Canon EOS R (30MP) - which I consider to be too little when scanning LARGE negatives, because I have to throw away too many pixels when i cut them down. This is due to the different proportions between negatives, and sensor. Then there was the issue with dark corners, when using the Sigma ART 70 Macro lens.

Therefore, the Tamron SP 90/2.8 Macro lens showed unusual good quality with the larger GFX sensor; basically no dark corners in the near field.

But it wasn't mean to be...

I start to wonder...

Am i too inflexible in my mind ? Like when you don't see the forest because of all trees ? That kind of style...

Why not changing perspective instead ?
The Pixel-Shift (High-Res) Method

What about Olympus + Pixel-Shift + Macro lens ? I have 3 macro lenses in the Olympus system, you know... Just saying.

Why not using the 50 MP or 80 MP high resolution pixel-shift feature ? (The camera takes many shots in a rapid succession, and calculates them all together, into a larger RAW file with better resolution and less noise. Now my Olympus lenses do not extend when they focus. And obviously, the Macro lenses do not result into dark corners.

So, why not giving it a try ?
