Set you're tripod up pointing downwards onto a stable surface with the negative perfectly flat on the light-box, I use a little weights around the edges to prevent distortion from curl when needed (kitchen table suits me height wise) view and level perfectly on both planes of view and use live view an also press the ok button to really get in close to achieve that extra detail.
f8 aperture on the DFA macro 100mm and iso 100 obviously.
I get in as close, or as focus will allow and then come back a tiny tad adjusting the tripod height but maintaining full 35mm coverage of the neg or slide, as best I can.
When one has set up good one can do a batch of old negs.
Put one of them into Rawtherappe and when one chooses to develop a negative, reverse the curve field, so the that it shows as a positive.
This is my ameture approach currently but allows me to learn the easy way.

It's great that one can convert older film negative or slide at home.

Maybe in less than six months time. I presume it will be the same crop sensor from the Kiii monochrome inside ?
Street photographers will love this, a Leica killer stealth pocketable.

I wanted the KP but it was just beyond my reach price wise at the time.
I researched heavily about both cameras and found the following.
The K70 has an excellent crop sensor that was developed independently, but the KP crop sensor was a development from the Pentax K1 original sensor team. So hence that hint magic for the KP.
I have gone on too acquire a FF K1ii since and the resolution is indeed a step up from the K70 but cannot speak for the KP
Hope this helps, regards Flan
If you manage to win, well then thats when the worry really starts
Loads on here and thats including myself are just enthusiasts and that is also perfectly clear to the savvy pros that drop in occasionally. I think they the pros get a kick out of it
