T-Scann 8 - project page

Super 8 / Regular 8  film scanner

It is a bit difficult to adjust the sharpness and size of the image, due to further development of the HQ update, I do not want to touch the back focus setting. Can make it easier?

 

Do this:

 

- Focus on the lens so that the front lens is at the far end of the tube.

- Back up the entire camera package at the back.

- Focus, it is possible to focus in 2 places! with different size of image. Take the picture that will be the best film perforation must be included in the picture. The front knob sets the image sideways, and part of the image before and after must be visible. This rear position is best suited for the Super 8. For the regular 8, push the camera package a few m.m.

 

-Remove the film to see that the entire film window is visible, must not be shaded at the top, if necessary raise the camera package with film start strip as in the picture it is about 0.2 mm or tape or something else.
