I've been using the DMR with a Macro 60 for a while now to make quick digital dupes of film. The tonal scale is rather mangled, taking on a sort of gritty, dark look. Effectively I get about 6MP. But it's great for all those 1000s of images where you don't really care; where it's just not worth the effort to use a scanner for top quality.
This is from RAP100F and E200 Pro (35mm):
Plus of course tons of personal snapshots of no particular photographic interest whatsoever. Using a small light table, a film holder - a 6x7 holder for my Imacon scanner with a couple of masks cut from sheet film, and a spirit level to level the light table and camera. Here's the setup:
(That's a Mamiya 6x7 loupe. Yes, it really covers 6x7! )
The results obviously won't stack up against a proper scan (6x7 E200 Pro):
But it's great for the gazillions of snaps not really worth scanning!
