Shot on a Bronica ETRS film camera

I put the negs or trannies on a light box and shoot them with a 100mm macro lens attached to a 48MP camera.
I've found this to be the most effective way to get a quality hi-res image in the computer.
I do a little editing and clean-up in Photoshop.

I'm gonna bring this up to you because you seem cool and like you're up to challenges
3 yesrs ago, i was in a devastating car v motorcycle accident where i was the loser. Aside from other things, like surviving, my fingers, hands and wrists are recouping from being dislocated, broken snd just good ol' messed up. Oh, I'm also in a wheelchair.
I have a large camera setup that I'd like to use, again. I'm just gaining the strength to use it, holding it and lens changes are awkward. I still want to use my camera, even my 200-600mm from my wheelchair.
My query to you is thus: How?
Sorry to hear this.
Can you have a tripod adapted to attach to the wheelchair arms? Maybe a tray across the arms that acts as a base for a very small tripod to sit?
There's also the option of looking at a MFT system—like OM—as their long lenses are much smaller and lighter to use.

I was thinking of clamp feet for my tripod, but those might need to be made. I have 3LT tripods. A Leo and a very old Nigel. Do you know who offers clamps that can be adapted to feet?
I love velcro, but i don't think its tough enough.
My neice will be sewing a catch basket for my lap.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I was wondering if a couple of magic arms might be able to be adapted. Manfrotto make very sturdy ones, I have one, it's proven very useful.
I just looked. I've never seen or heard of them. Of course, I haven't visited the photography market in over 3 yrs. This may be what I'm looking for. Just need a solid mount. I'm willing to have a mount(s) welded to my wheelchair. Or I'll have a machinist help to design solid clamp feet.
I'm sure there's a YouTube review to watch. I'll check, later.
Thank you for keeping me in mind.
That looks promising. It also comes with clamps. I'm just worried about its low load rating, 7lbs, I think. I wonder if mounting a rail between two of them with a head mounted in the middle would work.
One clamped to each arm with a rail between them sounds like a good idea.
Now, levers or knobs?
I'd look at levers first. My Magic Arm has levers and it works well.
The whole mechanism locks with the one lever? Head, foot and elbow? Maybe need a handle, like under a levelling head.
I just made an order from 3LT. I've used their Nigel (ancient) and Leo tripods. Used a Leo monopod leg as a hiking stick to get my 300lbs (130kg) butt down a mountain. I don't like their ballheads, but Ive got a Leofoto G4, so I'm set. They have a desk mount and, seperate, plate system. I'll try it with my wheelchair and maybe you can help me review it?
This sounds interesting, do post pictures, it would be interesting to see.

Do you digitize them and use any program on them? Or is this straight film to paper?
